🤝Meet us at Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe in #Hamburg at stand 4I35 !
The Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. focus on all aspects of hydrogen research, from climate-friendly production to storage, distribution, and use. We investigate production methods like water electrolysis, biogas reforming, and water splitting, alongside solutions for long-distance transport and storage. We also develop energy converters, such as fuel cells, for mobile (trains, vehicles, ships, aircraft) and stationary applications (industrial processes, power supply).
Our DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics will present exhibits on hydrogen technologies, including electrolysis, storage, fuel cell diagnostics, and hybrid systems.

Gas diffusion electrodes for fuel cells and electrolysers
Gas diffusion electrodes are the main component of electrochemical energy technologies such as fuel cells and electrolysers. There is currently an industrial need to further develop and improve these electrodes, as their properties are crucial for the performance and service life of renewable energy technologies. The half-cell on display serves to assess the further development of these electrodes in industry and science quickly, easily, cheaply and with limited material costs. The DLR research groups have adapted and further developed the cell in a variety of ways. It can be used flexibly for fuel cells and electrolysers as well as for CO2 reduction and nitrogen reduction in the context of ammonia synthesis. Corrosion measurements of individual materials such as gas diffusion layers are also possible under controlled conditions. ⚗️🌍

Chemical products from hydrogen ♻️🌊
The sea offers many opportunities to generate electricity from renewable resources. However, transporting this electricity to land is very expensive, depending on the length of the power lines. At the same time, it must be ensured that the electricity can also be utilised on land. There is therefore great potential to store the energy in hydrogen directly off-shore and to transport it. In general, however, other chemical products can also be produced off-shore from wind energy, seawater and CO2. This is part of the hydrogen lead project H2Mare - PtX-Wind with DLR. DLR will be providing an insight into this project at its stand. One focus will be on research into various synthesis technologies, in particular the use of different electrolysis technologies and their possibilities in offshore operation. 🌬️⚡🚢 Explore the various production routes interactively.
