When the German companies exited the Desertec Industrial Initiative in 2014, many had considered the project a failure. But the network has developed further – and will now also be visible again in Europe, as Dii Desert Energy. Is now when energy will come out of the desert? In 2009, the Desertec Industrial Initiative (Dii) … Read more

Energy self-sufficiency with hydrogen Decarbonizing the energy supply is essential if climate targets are to be met. The issue of gas and heating supplies has again become a focus of public concern, not least because of the ongoing gas supply crisis triggered by the conflict in Ukraine. In the near term, measures are being discussed that will save energy … Read more |

Microbes for the clean energy transition Microorganisms have many talents. Some of them produce hydrogen from sunlight or biomass, others produce electricity from hydrogen. With their help, metabolic processes from the earliest days of the planet could become an integral part of a modern energy economy. Blue-green algae do not have a good reputation. When they emerge in lakes visited by … Read more

Hydrogen production in Romania While most countries in Western Europe laid out their strategies for hydrogen extraction some time ago, this southeastern member of the European Union has yet to take this step. Indeed the Romanian government isn’t planning to announce its hydrogen strategy until 2023. Huge potential exists for Romania to excel in the production of carbon-free hydrogen, … Read more

Rolling bearings for cryogenic hydrogen Hydrogen cooled well below zero poses particular challenges to the components used, especially the moving ones. The ball bearings of submersible pumps for pumping cryogenic media are examples of such heavily burdened parts. That is why NSK, a company originated in Tokyo, has developed self-lubricating deep groove ball bearings that work without the need to … Read more |

Efficient coating process for BPPs In PEMECs (proton-exchange membrane electrolyzers) as well as PEMFCs (PEM fuel cells), chemical processes are taking place during operation that attack the surface of the material used and lead to corrosion in the medium or long term. Various studies show that because of internal corrosion processes in BPPs (bipolar plates) made of pure stainless steel, … Read more |

Key components with optimization potential The bipolar plate is one of the most used components in a fuel cell stack, alongside the gaskets and the membrane electrode assembly. This is why it’s important in the overall scheme of things to bring down their cost. Manufacturers, regardless of whether they produce metal or graphite solutions, are increasingly looking to automate and … Read more |
