What exactly is a biorefinery? And what does it have to do with biogas? The 2nd Biomethane Day on 05.07.2024 at the University of Hohenheim (Stuttgart/Germany) deals with the topic "What contribution can biomethane make to the energy transition in heavy goods transport or agricultural machinery?" and provides insights into operation and research at a full-scale research biogas and a on-farm biorefinery plant. Don’t miss it. Interested parties can find all the details in the link. #biomethane #biogas #Energiewende

#Construction site update 👷🏻♂️ 🚧 The construction site is enclosed, the containers are set up and the cranes are raised. Construction of the #BioCampusMultiPilot (BMP) in the port of Straubing-Sand has begun. 🏗️ The building pit has been excavated, the ground has been stabilized and the ground pipes have been laid. The foundation for demonstrating the processes of industrial #biotechnology in the port of Straubing-Sand has been laid. ⚙️ The insulation fits, the reinforcement is in place, the floor slab of the administrative area has been poured and the first prefabricated walls are set up. 🤩 The plan of the #BMP is becoming more and more real. #scaleupinfrastructure #biotech #industrialbiotech

11.02.24 Part 2 For statistics, I will talk about how Bocholt (city in Germany) fought with #ultrasound against #cyanobacteria in city ponds. This topic is close to biofouling (water in ponds is fresh, but similar cyanobacteria can be found in the seas). Articles from the regional press in German and the whole essence of the problem: a certain company, a manufacturer of useless #ultrasound, promised to scare cyanobacteria. 3 years was the system in operation in Bocholt. Тhe first 2 years, the results were very ambiguous, but in the third year the water in the ponds warmed up to 30 degrees and the uselessness of the effect of ultrasound on bacteria and on unicells was already evident. It is very interesting that the design of the ultrasonic source for the pond is insanely similar to the previous version of the DBP by HASYTEC (although now they have already been repackaged in plastic).   The links 01. https://lnkd.in/eqYz5FVK 02. https://lnkd.in/eytfpDJZ

The shift towards #zero_emission energy carriers has become both a trend and a necessity in the current global energy landscape. These energy carriers play a crucial role in mitigating #climate change and reducing dependency on #fossil fuels for industries of all scales. Among these carriers, #hydrogen stands out as a significant candidate capable of transforming the energy sector. However, the transportation of hydrogen presents substantial challenges that need to be addressed to maximize its potential. #Hydrogen is increasingly recognized for its potential to revolutionize the energy sector due to its zero-emission characteristics. The adoption of hydrogen can lead to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. #Challenges in Hydrogen Transportation Despite its advantages, transporting hydrogen remains a challenging aspect of utilizing this energy carrier. One primary issue is the storage of hydrogen in a form that allows for efficient and safe transportation. To enhance energy storage capacity, liquefying hydrogen (#LH2) is recommended. #Liquefied hydrogen, stored at extremely low temperatures (-253°C), occupies less volume and can be transported more efficiently. However, the liquefaction process is energy-intensive and costly. #Solutions for Hydrogen Storage and Transportation To address the high costs associated with hydrogen liquefaction, large-scale production is essential. Economies of scale can significantly reduce the overall costs, making hydrogen a more viable energy carrier. A critical question arises regarding the transportation of this extremely cold liquid. Currently, double-walled tanks are commonly used for transporting small quantities of liquefied hydrogen. These tanks are equipped with high-tech insulation and a high vacuum to maintain the necessary low temperatures. Despite their effectiveness for small capacities, the demanding super-insulation requirements pose technical challenges for building such tanks on a larger scale. Innovative Project: Large-Scale Tank with VIP Insulation In response to these challenges, our research group has initiated an innovative project aimed at developing a large-scale tank with Vacuum Insulation Panels (#VIP) insulation. This project represents a significant advancement in hydrogen storage technology, addressing both the technical difficulties and the need for super-insulation. The collaborative effort, known as the #NICOLHy project, involves a team of experts from across the European Union. Together, we are working to bring this groundbreaking solution to fruition, paving the way for more efficient and cost-effective hydrogen transportation on a large scale.
