Fraunhofer Develops New Offshore Technologies for the Generation, Storage and use of Green Hydrogen
September 28, 2021 | 6 min read September 28, 2021 | 6 min read- The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU plays a leading role in researching efficient hydrogen technologies.
Several major projects have recently started in which the institute is leading, coordinating or acting as a partner. Now, with ›H2Wind‹, another major research project is being added – and that goes straight to the source: by 2025, the researchers are developing electrolysers and hydrogen storage systems that can be operated in the sea. Because it is precisely there that wind turbines generate the electricity required to generate and process green hydrogen. The project is funded by the federal government with 3.5 million euros.
