News from the fields of hydrogen and power-to-X

A novel approach combining electrolysis and oxygenated entrained flow gasification enables high carbon efficiency in the production of sustainable Fischer-Tropsch fuels. This power-and-biomass-to-liquid (PBtL) process combines the concepts of using biomass as a carbon and energy source (biomass-to-liquid) and hydrogen as an energy carrier derived from carbon-neutral renewables (power-to-liquid).

The third roadmap of the Kopernikus P2X project shows the relevance of PtX products in a defossilized energy system. In addition, the ecological, economic and social impacts are examined on the basis of value chains of P2X products.

Hydrogen as a key element of future fuel supply is the main focus of several recent studies conducted at Bauhaus Luftfahrt

For the first time this year, the IAA will take place from 07-12 September 2021 in Munich. Also the TUM.Hydrogen & PtX Network presents itself with its own booth to the participants of the fair.

The Werner Siemens Chair of Synthetic Biotechnology (WSSB) is concerned with biotechnological processes for CO2 fixation and value-added conversion. In process development, synergies with thermochemical processes are actively identified and exploited.

About 15 partners of the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX network took part in the tour of the BioCORE test container at the Chair of Energy Systems on August 6. Despite the mixed weather, the tour of the high-temperature fuel cell plant for the highly efficient generation of electricity from biogas was a complete success. The appointment was probably the last opportunity to visit the test container at its…

Digital twins are the enabling technology for the "Energiewende" as they facilitate the transition from a centralized fossil-fuel based power generation to a decentralized and distributed renewable energy based power conversion. The Chair of Wind Energy takes part in the “e-TWINS” project representing the wind power generation among the diverse field of applicable technologies.

Foundation of the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX network

In April 2019, the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX Network was officially launched to pool expertise in the field of power-to-X and hydrogen production at TUM and to facilitate scientific exchange.
