In addition to optimising efficiency, the focus will also be on minimising exhaust emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the results will be used to plan further or comparable plants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wir-campfire.de\/en\/cf12_1-container-based-cracker-gas-engine-chp-for-remote-off-grid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/wir-campfire.de\/en\/cf12_1-container-based-cracker-gas-engine-chp-for-remote-off-grid\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"latest-project latest-project--white\">\n            <h2 class=\"latest-project__heading\">Further projects<\/h2>\n    \n            <div class=\"latest-project__grid\">\n                                                                                                <div class=\"latest-project__item\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/en\/projects\/elyseal-service-life-safety-seals-pem-electrolysers\/\" class=\"project-card\" title=\"ELYSeal \u2013 Service life and safety of seals in PEM electrolysers\">\n    <div class=\"project-card__header\">\n        <figure class=\"project-card__figure\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1024x663.jpg\" class=\"project-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1536x995.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-2048x1326.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1320x855.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"project-card__body\">\n        <time class=\"project-card__published\" datetime=\"2026-10-20T09:29:20+00:00\">\n            20.
