H2 ready? Collaborative project shows use of hydrogen in industrial ovens
Whether for steel and glass production or in many other industrial plants: burners that convert hydrogen into heat instead of natural gas in the future are - alongside electricity from renewable energies - the basis for a successful energy transition in industry. But how can this work when hydrogen has significantly different properties to natural gas? Over the past three years, a research project at TU Bergakademie Freiberg has been investigating solutions for industrial furnaces, industrial heating systems and furnaces. The team from the Chair of Gas and Heating Technology and its partners present the results at the end of the project in Freiberg.

Recovering precious metals from electrocatalysts: Scientists develop new process
Hydrogen from electrolysis with renewable energies is considered a key element of the energy transition. By means of catalysts, water is split into its components hydrogen and oxygen. The electrochemical reaction requires precious metals such as platinum, iridium or ruthenium as catalysts. How the recycling of these metals can be improved has been examined for three years by a European research project with the participation of TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

Selective extraction – recovery of important industrial metals
Funded by Audi Environmental Foundation, a team of TU Bergakademie Freiberg is researching the recovery of strategically important raw materials. Indium, gallium or tin are not rare, but indispensable for modern technologies, such as semiconductor components or photovoltaic systems. The extraction of these metals is sometimes complex and therefore cost-intensive.
