The increasingly relevant climate change coupled with the worldwide static increase in energy consumption by industry and private households requires us to rethink. New climate-neutral alternatives are being promoted more and more. One of the biggest hopes in the field of climate neutrality is hydrogen. But what is hydrogen? How can we produce it and where can it help us?

The cost of natural gas for industrial heating processes, electric power and HVAC is rising while emissions controls also grow more stringent. Engineers must adapt and learn how to better control the calorific value of their gas feeds to optimize industrial heating processes. Controlling your burn reduces consumption, costs and emissions.

Pumping oleum is challenging enough — add a submersion depth of 11 meters, and things get really interesting. But a magnetically coupled sealless pump is up to the challenge, providing safe and reliable handling of hazardous liquids.

Achema back as a live event for the first time since it was postponed— After some back and forth, the leading trade fair for the process industry opens its doors in August. Despite great anticipation for the upcoming meeting, expectations are mixed. Achema between the Ukraine war and the fading pandemic.

Climate protection can open up new markets for the chemical industry in China on a large scale in the coming decade. This also applies to European companies. As the chemical newspaper Zhongguo Huagong Xinxi Zhoukan reports, additional market demand of around 1.4 trillion Chinese yuan (about 222 billion dollars) will arise for several specific specialty chemicals needed for climate change.

In a new study, a research group at Arizona State University explores different approaches to catalysis, a chemical process that plays an essential role in biological reactions, as well as many industrial applications.

Both Germany and Europe have set the goal of becoming greenhouse gas neutral by 2050 at the latest. This means that energy consumption throughout the economy must be switched to carbon-free sources. Hydrogen will play an important role here, especially in activities that are otherwise impossible or difficult to decarbonize - for example, in the steel and chemical industries, aviation, ships or parts of the transportation sector. One of the crucial factors for rapid conversion is the question of how the production costs for green hydrogen can be reduced to a competitive level.

Climate-neutral transportation, chemicals, heating and basic industries – hydrogen is supposed to do the trick. But the light gas is making it difficult for plant manufacturers. Can material storage offer an alternative and save the energy transition?

Providing functional turnkey solutions for demanding industry projects based on innovative technology and process know-how: The EPC group transitioned itself beyond an engineering company. The key to their success? Strategic partnerships, a strong focus on technology and offering the right solution in the right place at the right time.

The EU funded project Most-H2 is developing an innovative concept for hydrogen storage, from the laboratory to the tank. With a budget of approximately six million euros over 48 months, the project focuses on research and innovation to find the best storage solutions.
