Energy

The energy transition relies on hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. Power-to-X (PtX) technologies enable the conversion of electricity into easily storable chemical energy carriers, thus contributing to the flexibility of the energy system. Efficient gas purification (deoxygenation, drying, CO removal) is essential for meeting hydrogen purity requirements. Fuel cells convert chemical energy into electricity efficiently and with low emissions, and are promising technologies for mobile and stationary applications. Catalysts and adsorbents are crucial for the efficiency and economic viability of hydrogen production, PtX technologies, gas purification, and fuel cells.
