  • The Springschool Hydrogen Technology will take place from 17 to 22 March 2024 in Heide / Schleswig-Holstein. The Institute of Networked Energy Systems is co-organiser of the event.
  • Around 40 speakers from research and industry will provide practical insights into the entire spectrum of the hydrogen economy.
  • Young researchers will have the opportunity to present their scientific work in 3-minute pitch talks.
  • Focus: Energy, hydrogen

The Springschool Hydrogen Technology offers a multi-day scientific exchange on hydrogen-related technologies and their applications from 17 to 22 March 2024 in Heide / Schleswig-Holstein. Around 40 speakers from research and industry will provide young researchers with practical insights into the entire spectrum of the hydrogen economy. Young researchers will also have the opportunity to present their scientific work in 3-minute pitch talks. Registrations are still possible.

In terms of content, the conference programme is geared towards the H2 value chain. Technical aspects of hydrogen production and possible production sites will be discussed first. This will be followed by presentations on storage media, for example in metal hydrides, porous materials or through liquefaction. A particular focus here is on large-scale underground storage in caverns.

The focus on hydrogen transport will include discussions on pipeline networks and economic aspects of technical supply chains. Building on presentations on material technology challenges and hydrogen safety, the need for further research will be illustrated during an excursion using the example of hydrogen refuelling stations. Among other things, the focus here will be on determining hydrogen quality. The Springschool will conclude with a look at possible H2 applications, for example in stationary fuel cells, trains, ships and aviation.

Springschool Hydrogen Technology is jointly organised by the Institute of Networked Energy Systems, the West Coast University of Applied Sciences, the DLR Institute of Maritime Energy Systems and the Helmholtz Zentrum Hereon.
