<\/h2>\n

The new H2-Konkret innovation network<\/strong> develops practical solutions for the efficient use of hydrogen, in particular through new products and processes. The focus is on industry, infrastructure, production and mobility<\/strong>, with a particular emphasis on hydrogen and plastics technology. <\/p>\n

H2-Konkret is now entering phase 1 with 13 SMEs, four R&D institutions and five associated partners under the leadership of Kunststoff-Institut L\u00fcdenscheid GmbH. The focus is on topics such as the conversion, storage, transport and supply of hydrogen<\/strong>. Current challenges facing the industry are being addressed in order to develop sustainable and forward-looking solutions. <\/p>\n

In addition, H2-Konkret specifically promotes cooperation along the entire hydrogen value chain<\/strong> and is expanding its partner network at national and European level in order to create synergies, increase its reach and exploit growth potential. ZBT<\/strong> is actively involved in the network with its hydrogen research<\/strong> and supports the networking of partners. <\/p>\n

H2-Konkret is not a closed club; interested parties are welcome to join.<\/p>\n
