Efficiency and Sustainability in Focus: Key Highlights from the Laser Colloquium Hydrogen 2024
Key Ideas
- Efficiency improvement of hydrogen processes is the core theme at LKH2, with a focus on laser technology applications throughout the production chain.
- The HyGATE project, a German-Australian initiative, aims to achieve large-scale production of highly efficient electrolyzers for green hydrogen.
- Various presentations at the event discuss topics such as laser-based metal foam electrodes, ultrashort pulse lasers, and nanofoams for catalytic converters.
- The HydrogenLab at Fraunhofer ILT offers facilities for optimizing fuel cell production, conducting research, and testing the efficiency of laser-produced component.
The fifth Laser Colloquium Hydrogen - LKH2, organized by Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, is scheduled for September 10 and 11, 2024, in Aachen. The event focuses on promoting sustainable networking to address the challenges of sustainable hydrogen production collectively. Dr. Alexander Olowinsky highlights the inefficiencies in current hydrogen processes and emphasizes the importance of improving efficiency, a key theme at LKH2. The HyGATE project, a collaboration between Germany and Australia, aims to establish large-scale production of efficient electrolyzers. Notably, Hysata Pty Ltd from Australia presents a capillary electrolyzer with high system efficiency. The event showcases various laser technology applications, including the development of metal foam electrodes and nanofoams for catalytic converters.
The HydrogenLab at Fraunhofer ILT provides research facilities for optimizing fuel cell production and testing laser-produced components' efficiency. Speakers cover topics such as high-precision beam deflection, ultrashort pulse lasers, and AI-based management for green hydrogen production. The event aims to demonstrate how laser technology can enhance hydrogen production efficiency and advance the transition to sustainable energy sources.
