PtX Plus - Use of green hydrogen in combination with biotechnology-based conversion processes

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.

Tour of the BioCORE test container at the Chair of Energy Systems

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…

A holistic view on digital twins in the future energy system

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.

The TUM.Hydrogen and Power-to-X Network in the MSE Annual Report 2019/2020

The Munich School of Engineering at the Technical University of Munich has published its annual report 2019/2020. It contains a lot of information about the TUM.Hydrogen and Power-to-X network.

System integration of microbiological methanation as a contribution to the energy transition

At the Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering, the integration of microbiological methanation into a sector-coupled energy system is investigated.

The thermofluiddynamik (TFD) group’s Power-to-X and hydrogen research activities

The thermofluiddynamik (TFD) group’s research activities focus in the field of thermoacoustic combustion instabilities. Such instabilities - created from a positive interaction of acoustic waves and unsteady heat released - lead to increase of acoustic pressure, excessive noise or, in worst cases, destruction of the combustion chambers. Current objectives of progressive global de-carbonization…

Current Fuel Cell Research: New Publications of the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells generate electrical energy without direct CO2 emissions from the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to water. Thereby, PEM fuel cells distinguish themselves among others in high power densities and high flexibility. In June 2021 two new fuel cell related research articles of the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry were published in the Journal…

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.
