BMBF junior research group at FAU exploring new options for producing hydrogen

Researchers at FAU hope to develop a new procedure aimed at gaining pure hydrogen from biological waste. Many of the methods used to date require high temperatures of 600 degrees Celsius and more. They are therefore not particularly suitable for decentralized use, for example on farms. However, that is precisely where large quantities of suitable residue is generated, for example as a by-product of keeping livestock or harvesting crops. Read more …
