Fuel cells, batteries and electrolysers for mobile and stationary applications Power2Chemicals To achieve a climate-neutral economy, technologies based on using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a versatile raw material should be explored and used in the future. The DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics is investigating different ways in which CO2 can be converted into higher-grade chemicals ...

Application-oriented research for alternative propulsion systems in aviation and shipping In order to reduce emissions in aviation and shipping, the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics is developing fuel cell drive trains and energy systems for mobile applications in the megawatt range. Another main area of focus of the Institute is electrolysers, with which hydrogen can ...

Cross-coupling of the energy and mobility sectors and hydrogen storage caverns In the energy system of the future, hydrogen and hydrogen compounds play an important role as renewable energy carriers and feedstocks for the chemical industry. This is because hydrogen can also be stored on a large scale and allows for broad cross-sectoral applications. The ...
