Starting from fermentative hydrogen production, ending with production of electrical energy in a fuel cell and the utilization of the remaining byproducts the whole process chain was represented. The technology was now demonstrated in a semi-technical plant in a modular setup on the premises of\u00a0 Emschergenossenschaft (Emscher Mouth wastewater treatment plant)<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">ZBT\u2019s mission was to examine the usability of a hydrogen rich biogas in a low temperature fuel cell system. This includes gas treatment and purification and the selection of suitable components for the gas analyses system. The control systems for gas treatment and fuel cell system were set up in modules and integrated in a single user interface. Challenging were especially the removal of sulfur components and ammonia using adsorbents of char coal. Gas purifications reactors were designed and several types of char coals were tested for the removal of hydrogen sulphide (H<sub>2<\/sub>S), carbonylsulfid (COS) and mercaptan, that had been detected in product gas of the H<sub>2<\/sub>-reactor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The fuel cell systems was designed to operate safely under rugged conditions on a feed gas containing only small amounts of hydrogen (~30%).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Department fuel cells and systems<\/li>\n<li>Department fuel processing<\/li>\n<li>System technologies at ZBT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"latest-news latest-news--white\">\n            <h2 class=\"latest-news__heading\">Weitere News<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"latest-news__grid\">\n                                            <div class=\"latest-news__item\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/en\/news\/zbt-researcher-elisabeth-verweyen-presents-progress-on-conductive-polymer-compounds\/\" class=\"news-card\" title=\"ZBT researcher Elisabeth Verweyen presents progress on conductive polymer compounds\">\n    <div class=\"news-card__header\">\n        <figure class=\"news-card__figure\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX-1024x771.jpg\" class=\"news-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX-1320x994.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/XRD_ReactorX.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"news-card__body\">\n        <time class=\"topic-card__published\" datetime=\"2026-07-27T08:00:20+00:00\">\n            27.
