Areas of application for highly mobile hydrogen refuelling

Areas of application for highly mobile, construction site-compatible hydrogen refuelling at locations with no or insufficient refuelling and charging infrastructure.

Design example for a highly mobile hydrogen refuelling station

Functionality of highly mobile hydrogen refuelling using the example of the MAX Mobile Refueler from Maximator: (1) The refuelling vehicle is refuelled at the public 700 bar truck filling station. (2) The already compressed hydrogen is brought to the machine by the transport vehicle. (3) Hydrogen is refuelled into the machine in a few minutes using a displacement principle with low energy input, whereby the highly mobile filling device is driven by the machine to be refuelled.

Cross-sectional image of a laser-structured and coated steel surface

The image shows an FIB cross-section of a steel surface that has been structured using laser interference and then coated with a 2D material, in this case MXene as transition metal carbide Ti3C2. The individual MXene flakes deposited in the valleys of the laser structures are clearly recognisable.

Host of the Battery Safety Talk and founder of Green Testing Lab Max Hofer welcomes the participants

As part of the Battery Safety Talk, well-known speakers delivered seven presentations from different perspectives on the topic of battery safety. Aim of the event was to network experts in order to share knowledge and thus increase safety in this area.

Expert audience from all over Austria at the Battery Safety Talk 2024

Around 80 experts from research, development, industry and authorities were able to exchange ideas on the topic of battery safety at the Battery Safety Talk in May 2024. The organizer was the Green Testing Lab in Hartberg, which created the opportunity to get to know different perspectives and to enter discussions with experts from different areas.

IEA SHC Task 66: Solar Energy Buildings – Presentation of final results

IEA SHC Task 66 “Solar Energy Buildings” presented the final results of their activities at the EuroSun Conference 2024 in Limassol, Cyprus, on Tuesday, 27 August, from 11:00 to 12:30 EEST. Over three years, an international team of scientists and industry representatives collaborated on the topic “Solar Energy Buildings.” The event featured presentations by the task manager, subtask leaders, and an industry representative. Dr. Harald Drück, Manager of Task 66 from the University of Stuttgart’s IGTE, provided an overview of the project and highlighted key achievements. Subtask leaders shared summaries of their findings: Prof. Frank Späte (OTH-AW, Germany) discussed key performance indicators for assessing solar energy buildings, while Elsabet Nielsen (Technical University of Denmark) showcased demonstration projects of completed solar energy buildings. Michael Gumhalter (AEE INTEC, Austria) explored current and future technologies in the field. Additionally, Zanil Narsing from Naked Energy Ltd. (UK) presented on "Solar Energy Buildings with Advanced Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) Collectors." More details on Task 66 are available on their website: https://task66.iea-shc.org/.

Fact sheets for Solar Energy Building technologies

Fact sheets for technologies in the field of solar energy buildings were developed as part of IEA SHC Task 66 Subtask D to provide concise, easily accessible summaries of key solar technologies, helping stakeholders make informed decisions. They include information on advancements, comparisons, and suitability for different climates, building types, and regional requirements. Categorized into areas such as generation, storage, buildings, and grids, the fact sheets highlight integration strategies for effective solar energy systems. By referencing scientific publications and showcasing practical examples, they demonstrate the functionality and characteristics of selected technologies.

Solar process heat system for Seville brewery

The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.
