IMI has provided a PEM electrolyser for a research project at the Fraunhofer-Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Systems in Zittau, Germany. The project, part of the IntegrH2ate research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, focuses on examining the feasibility of utilizing hydrogen by-products in district heating systems. By setting up a test facility at the Stadtwerke Zittau site, the project aims to extract waste heat from hydrogen generation using a high-temperature heat pump and feed it into the municipal district heating network for research purposes. The choice of the IMI VIVO electrolyser was based on its compatibility with the project's requirements for flexibility, scalability, and instrumentation. The project's significance lies in advancing hydrogen's role in sustainable district heating technologies, which aligns with the German government's goals of increasing connections to district heating annually. This initiative highlights the potential of hydrogen by-products in contributing to the future of heating in Germany. The IntegrH2ate project is a pioneering step in investigating technical aspects related to hydrogen production and by-product utilization, positioning Zittau as a hub for future hydrogen-related projects and research in the region.
