FAQ: Hydrogen

What do we need hydrogen for? The non-fossil energy system of the future will require green electrons that flow through power lines and can be stored for short periods in battery systems. But it will also require green molecules that

The Bridge That Endures: Hydrogen as a Pillar

Hydrogen was long considered the magic word of the energy transition – but is now increasingly viewed with scepticism. For Prof. Peter Jansens, member of the Board of Forschungszentrum Jülich, hydrogen remains indispensable: not as a cure-all, but as a

Orange Is the Other Green

Hydrogen is a colourless gas. Yet when people talk about the colours of hydrogen, they mean the way it is produced – and how climate-friendly that process is. One hydrogen colour ought to be straightforward, and yet it is strangely

Accelerating the Development of Climate‑Friendly Chemical Plants

The energy transition presents a major challenge for the chemical industry: until now, chemical plants have been continuously supplied with fossil energy and designed for stable, uniform operation. In the future, however, they must be capable of producing large quantities

On the Same Wavelength as Atoms

It is almost exactly 130 years since Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered something he had not been looking for at all: X-rays. Just a few weeks later, he produced the first X-ray image in human history – showing the bones of

Using hydrogen for more climate-friendly metal processing

When metals need to change their shape or hardness, one thing is usually required above all else: heat treatment. However, the industrial high-temperature processes required for this often produce large
