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

Kickoff meeting for the joint project Synergyfuels successful (CTV)

The project SynergyFuels to develop an integrated refinery concept for the production of renewable fuels from biogenic residues started in January 2023. The kickoff meeting took place at the TUM Campus for Biotechnology and Sustainability in April.

Additive manufacturing of Pt-based catalysts for the dehydrogenation of liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)

New publication of the Chair I of Technical Chemistry on 3D printing of Pt-based catalysts for hydrogen release from liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC).

Preliminary gas flow experiments show improved gas flow conditions in a pilot-scale trickle-bed reactor for the biological methanation of H2 and CO2

New publication in Bioresource Technology by the Chair of Urban Water Management on the topic of biological methanation.

Substituting Kerosene: From conventional to hydrogen driven aircraft combustors

The Chair for Sustainable Future Mobility (Prof. Jocher) is researching various aspects of the operational safety of today's staged aircraft engine combustion chambers with hydrogen as part of a large research network.

New paper “Optical and Thermodynamic Investigations of a Methane- and Hydrogen-Blend-Fueled Large-Bore Engine Using a Fisheye Optical System”

Large-bore engines are widely used in marine shipping and on-shore power generation. Methane as a fuel with reduced carbon footprint has been replacing heavy fuel oil (HFO) for the past years and engines have been retrofitted to accept gaseous fuels. With the expectedly increasing supply of green hydrogen, however, come new chances and challenges for engine development.

Hydrogen research project launched in the Bavarian chemical triangle

In the future, research will be conducted in the Bavarian chemical triangle on the climate-neutral transformation of the entire chemical industry in Germany. The main focus will be on the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and starting material for important basic chemicals. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the "Burghausen H2 Reallaboratory" joint project…

New project on direct hydrogen combustion in aircraft engines at LTF

LTF launched a joint project with SBES GmbH and AYED-ENGINEERING GmbH in February 2023 for direct hydrogen combustion in the Allison 250-C20B helicopter engine.

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.

Program

Remain up to date with the MSE colloquia

The Munich School of Engineering (MSE) organises a colloquium every year to bring together the diverse activities on energy research at Bavarian universities. PhD students and researchers from different faculties and universities present their work for this purpose. External guests from science and industry provide insights into their areas of expertise. The next colloquium will take place in July 2021. [MORE]
