Hydrogen research is the topic of the 2nd BTU Science Club

About 30 guests - primarily professors of the BTU, but also representatives of the BTU Sponsors' Association - accepted the invitation of BTU President Prof. Dr. Gesine Grande and the Vice President for Research and Transfer, Prof. Dr. Michael Hübner, to network and at the same time discuss current and forward-looking topics. At the second event in the series, the scientists* devoted themselves to the urgent challenge of transforming industry with the aim of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality while maintaining security of supply and competitiveness. The various options for sector coupling and, in particular, the supply of climate-neutral fuels have a key role to play here. In order to provide climate-neutral fuels based on hydrogen, efficient infrastructures are required. The associated technical, economic and regulatory challenges and approaches to solutions will be discussed at this event.

For the scientific discourse this afternoon, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Mario Ragwitz provided a fact-filled presentation entitled "Hydrogen Infrastructures for a Greenhouse Gas Neutral Industry at the Turn of the Century". Professor Dr. Mario Ragwitz has been Institute Director of the Fraunhofer IEG since 2019. As a professor at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg, he heads the Department of Integrated Energy Infrastructures at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems.
