Solar Fuels for Ethiopia: Establishment of a competence centre for Power-to-XSolar Fuels for Ethiopia: Establishment of a competence

Project

A large proportion of the rural population in Ethiopia suffers from energy poverty. For those affected, biomass (primarily firewood) is the only available source of energy. The overexploitation of Ethiopia's forests can only be stopped if the population has access to suitable fuel alternatives. Locally produced solar fuels using Power-to-X (P2X)… ...

HIGGS – Hydrogen in Gas Grids

Project

The HIGGS project aims to show that the safe injection of hydrogen into the EU high pressure transmission natural gas grid is a sustainable, long-term solution to decarbonise the energy system. HIGGS is going to identify remaining weaknesses regarding H2-Readiness and develop a pathway for a stepwise integration of hydrogen in the EU gas network. ...
