At the Dornbirn-GFC conference in Austria, Maike Rabe will present the WasserSTOFF Project, focused on developing a hydrogen-heated stenter frame for carbon-neutral finishing of textiles. The project led by Monforts aims to reduce CO2 emissions by using green hydrogen derived from renewable sources. Testing includes using hydrogen or hydrogen/natural gas mixtures for drying and fixation, with an emphasis on optimizing processes and assessing product quality. Data is being collected to evaluate the climate footprint of the system and support the scaling up of the technology. The project involves collaboration between Hochschule Niederrhein, Monforts, Pleva, Nova Textil-Beschichtung, and support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. The ultimate goal is to revolutionize the textile industry by implementing a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to textile finishing.
