Groene waterstof wordt gezien als een belangrijke vervanger van fossiele brandstoffen. In het Klimaatakkoord staan stevige waterstofambities voor 2030. Naar verwachting zal de stroom die tegen die tijd wordt gebruikt voor de waterstofproductie echter nog niet volledig groen zijn. Nieuwsuur sprak met deskundigen over de vraag, wat dat betekent voor het draagvlak voor overstap naar waterstof.

KEROGREEN is a collaborative European project on producing green kerosene. Goal of the project is to build a container sized production unit. KEROGREEN has been running for 30 months now. The project published an overview on what has been achieved so far. DIFFER developed a 6 KW lab-reactor and is working on a container-sized plasmolysis module.

Green hydrogen as a means of storing electrical energy is the future. The new SCALE consortium headed by DIFFER will investigate a new approach to generate hydrogen. DIFFER, together with the TU/e and a number of other parties was recently awarded 1.25 M€ of funding by NWO for this new project to prepare the ground for the next generation of so-called AEM water electrolysers.

The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has launched a new institute during the Opening of the Academic Year 2020/2021: the Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems - EIRES.

DIFFER is going to research a novel plasma-aided electrochemical reactor concept to cost-effectively convert small, common molecules into useful building blocks for the production of materials, chemicals and synthetic fuels.
