ZBT welcomes international and national delegations: insights into hydrogen research and technologies<\/h1>\n

In recent weeks, ZBT has welcomed several exciting visitor groups who have been intensively engaged with the latest developments in the field of hydrogen technologies and infrastructure.<\/h4>\n

Delegation of Indian SMEs visits ZBT<\/h2>\n

At ZBT, we welcomed a delegation of representatives from Indian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), organised by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy<\/a>. During the visit, Vimanshu Chanda<\/strong>, gave an overview of ZBT’s activities in the field of electrolysis<\/a>, while Theresa Schredelseker<\/strong> presented other key areas of focus for the centre.<\/p>\n

Following a short tour of the main laboratory<\/a>, Stefan Bever informed the guests about storage technologies and infrastructure issues at the hydrogen test field<\/a>. The test filling station and the DAC2Methane plant currently under construction aroused particular interest. Many thanks to Jana Salcedo Strausfeld<\/strong> and the team at eclareon GmbH<\/a> for the excellent organisation of the visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Visit by the VDI associations from Bochum and the Ruhr area<\/h2>\n

Within a week, we welcomed interested people from two VDI associations<\/strong>. ZBT communications manager Theresa Schredelseker explained hydrogen, hydrogen technologies and the path to a hydrogen economy. Both groups were given a tour of our premises, with different thematic focuses<\/strong> as requested. <\/p>\n

The Bochum group<\/a><\/strong> was mainly interested in fuel cells<\/a><\/strong> and hydrogen mobility<\/strong>. ZBT Managing Director Peter Beckhaus<\/strong> used an original fuel cell stack from a hydrogen car to clearly demonstrate how a fuel cell system works and provided insights into our research and development work<\/strong> between the fuel cell test benches. <\/p>\n

The VDI Ruhr District Association<\/strong><\/a> was primarily, but not exclusively, interested in ammonia as a hydrogen storage medium<\/a> and fuel and the corresponding technologies. Project manager Fausto Tidona therefore focused on our ammonia test benches during the laboratory tour. Alexander Kvasnicka<\/strong>, group leader for plants and storage, then showed the visitors our test facilities for hydrogen storage and refuelling at the hydrogen test field<\/strong> and explained our activities at the test field and the test filling station<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Thank you to Dr Rolf F. Ahlers<\/strong> and Ulrich von der Crone<\/strong> for visiting us!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
