Hunger for knowledge with ZBT and pizza at the IWW Water Center

Theresa Schredelseker and Matz Dietrich cycle to the IWW in Mülheim to talk about hydrogen, fuel cells and electrolysis. The water researchers at the IWW are particularly interested in water for electrolysis and are concerned about pollutants such as PFAS. After ten years, the Johannes Rau research community has grown close together.

Cycling five kilometers over lunch to our friends at the IWW in Mülheim and talking about our research into hydrogen, fuel cells and electrolysis over a delicious pizza – for Theresa Schredelseker and Matz Dietrich, a business trip just the way they like it.

The water researchers from the IWW were particularly interested in the topic of water for electrolysis. The scientists are also concerned about pollutants such as PFAS, which are currently still used in many hydrogen technologies. Of course, we are very interested in whether the water that comes out of our fuel cells is clean. That’s why we left a few water samples for the experts at the IWW to analyze for us.

Many thanks to Kristina Wencki and the whole team for the invitation and the lively exchange!

After ten years, the Johannes Rau research community has really grown together!
