The WasserSTOFF Project led by Monforts in Austria is working on developing a hydrogen-heated stenter frame for the carbon-neutral finishing of textiles. By using hydrogen converted from renewable energy sources like wind or solar, the project aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to traditional natural gas usage in stenter frames. The project involves testing the effects of using hydrogen or hydrogen/natural gas mixtures for textile drying and fixation processes. This includes developing and adapting burners, a gas mixing system, and a dynamic tool to evaluate the climate footprint. The project, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, also focuses on optimizing processes, adapting finishing recipes, and evaluating textile product quality. The data gathered will pave the way for scaling up the technology to an industrial level. Maike Rabe from Hochschule Niederrhein will present the latest news from the project at the Dornbirn-GFC conference, where insights into the innovative use of hydrogen in textile finishing will be shared.
