Munich, Erlangen-Nuremberg, 29. June 2024 9:00 to 0:00
The Regional Groups Munich and Erlangen-Nuremberg visit a pilot plant which produces hydrogen from biogas in the lovely Altmühltal Valley.
Hydrogen will play a crucial role in the energy transition, for example in industry and mobility. But production is energy-intensive and transportation difficult. Munich DAAD alumnus Dr. Gianluca Pauletto has developed an innovative approach to producing green hydrogen decentrally and highly efficiently from biogas – incidentally a great use for biogas, which is readily available. The startup SYPOX, which he founded, devotes itself to electrifying processes in the chemical industry: The SYPOX Reactor is the only technology worldwide that combines electric heating and catalysis at scale. It replaces combustion for energy-intensive processes in the chemical industry.
Afterwards, depending on the weather, we either go for a hike, or stop over in the nearby university town of Eichstätt and visit the Jura Museum with numerous fascinating fossils including a rare specimen of the archeopteryx. Future and distant past in one day!
