European hydrogen technology initiative seen as key to economy

The European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform met in March to exhibit applications for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. Researchers in different industries are developing industrial plants that run on hydrogen fuel, and developing new hydrogen extraction technologies using microorganisms and photosynthesis.

  • The European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform will present its proposals tomorrow for the development of hydrogen and fuel cells for carrying and converting clean energy.Hydrogen is most often seen as a future energy source for transport, but it could also conceivably be used extensively to power factories and plants in the future, something that could interest food manufacturers.There is a great deal of legislative pressure on plant managers to cut emissions, and this technology could one day provide the answer."The potential for hydrogen fuel is very exciting," said Janez Potocnik, European Commissioner for Science and Research."By bringing together all those with a stake in the future of hydrogen and fuel cell technology, with the support of the European Commission, the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform can assure the best use of resources for research, in ways that meet the needs of this growing industry."Systems manufacturer Mahler IGS and industrial gas giant Messer Griesheim are carrying out the installation, which is expected to take 13 months.The company requires hydrogen to meet the increasing demand for the production of Isomalt (Palatinit), an artificial sweetener that is extracted from pure beet sugar by means of a patented process.The plant, which is based on the process of steam reforming from natural gas, will have a capacity of 900 Nm 3 /h hydrogen.In addition, technology group Linde is sponsoring a project at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel that is studying the ability of cyanobacteria and single-cell green algae to produce hydrogen through photosynthesis."The Technology Platform aims to facilitate and accelerate the development and deployment of cost-competitive, world-class hydrogen and fuel cell based energy systems in Europe," said Jeremy Bentham, chairman of the Platform.
