GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences Funds Innovation and Knowledge Transfer Projects
Key Ideas
  • GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is funding five technology transfer and three knowledge transfer projects internally this year.
  • Innovation projects aim to technologically advance devices, data platforms, and processes, such as developing a drone gas flow measurement system for volcano monitoring.
  • One of the funded innovation projects, NABUCCO 4H2, focuses on safe storage and transportation of hydrogen through the formation of hydrogen hydrates.
  • Knowledge transfer projects include developing a knowledge platform on the vitality of trees, visualizing global 3D geodata, and creating a podcast on the 'heating transition' in Brandenburg.
The GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences has selected five technology transfer projects and three knowledge transfer projects for funding. The innovation projects aim to advance devices, data platforms, and processes. One notable project, NABUCCO 4H2, focuses on achieving climate neutrality by 2045 through the safe storage and transportation of hydrogen via hydrogen hydrates. Another project, MicroBioMonitoring for geothermal energy, focuses on developing forecasting tools for efficient operation of geothermal plants. The FLY project involves developing a drone gas flow measurement system for volcano monitoring in hard-to-access areas. GeoRefX project aims to optimize data processing for Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technology. Moreover, the Validation of X-band precipitation measurements project focuses on improving precipitation data collection for sustainable water use in agriculture. The knowledge transfer projects address societal challenges and involve developing platforms on tree vitality, visualizing 3D geodata, and creating a podcast on the 'heating transition' in Brandenburg. These projects aim to strengthen the exchange with specific target groups in society and promote knowledge sharing. The funded projects will span until early 2025, contributing to advancements in geosciences and sustainability.
