hydrogen

The global push towards carbon neutrality is spotlighting hydrogen as a vital energy carrier, and liquid hydrogen, with its high volumetric energy density, is emerging as a key player in this transition. Liquid hydrogen offers distinct advantages over its gaseous counterpart, primarily due to its increased density. At a cryogenic temperature of just 20.28 Kelvin, liquid hydrogen presents storage opportunities that enable higher energy densities compared to gaseous hydrogen compressed to even 500 bar. For instance, the Polar Tank Trailer can transport over 4000 kg of liquid hydrogen, dwarfing the approximately 686 kg capacity of certain high-pressure tube trailers, highlighting…

Electrolysis Hydrogen

EnBW (Energie Baden-WĂĽrttemberg AG) has taken a definitive step by investing €1.6 billion in converting its power plants from coal to hydrogen-ready facilities. This significant capital commitment underlines the energy company’s dedication to future-proofing its operations in Stuttgart-MĂĽnster and eventually in Altbach/Deizisau and Heilbronn, against the backdrop of Germany’s ambitious carbon emission reduction goals. Current operations at the Stuttgart-MĂĽnster site rely primarily on coal and waste-fired boilers, producing electricity and heating. EnBW, through careful planning over three years and anticipated construction over an additional two, is maneuvering towards a configuration utilizing hydrogen-ready turbines sourced from Siemens. This transition is critical…
