For high-tech industrial societies, a secure and independent energy supply is crucial. Renewable energy sources are now central in this regard because they are also available in unlimited quantities in resource-poor countries and are sustainable and climate friendly.
Water electrolysis plays a key role in producing so-called green hydrogen from renewable sources. It allows for the effective conversion of renewable electric energy and water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Participating researcher
At the Institute of Electric Power Systems, Prof. Dr. Richard Hanke-Rauschenbach and his team are working to further develop water electrolysis, with the goal of improving the efficiency, operating lifetime and cost.
