Green hydrogen:
Our expertise
Energy-intensive industries, for example, have long relied on the use of hydrogen. In the wake of the current discussions and necessary measures to reduceCO2 emissions, the topic is also gaining momentum and interest in other areas.
In order to achieve theCO2 targets, transport, heating and industry must also become climate-neutral in addition to electricity generation. Green hydrogen is an important component of this. Green because the electricity required to split water into oxygen and hydrogen must come from renewable energy sources. The electrical energy is converted into chemical energy and stored in hydrogen. But green hydrogen is also produced during the gasification and fermentation of biomass. To name just a few simple examples.
Years ago, we built up considerable expertise in fuel cell development projects (APAWAGS and FUCAP). Today, we combine our expertise in the development of integrated energy systems that benefit all areas and help companies to achieve theirCO2 targets. Our focus is not only on the production of hydrogen, but also on its transportation, storage and diverse applications for heat generation, in land, sea and air transport and in industry. To achieve this, we work in interdisciplinary teams with expertise from the energy industry, process digitization and the respective sector.
H2 FINITY
Research and testing of a scalable hydrogen propulsion system for light and medium-sized aircraft.
A major milestone for the future of aviation: The first flight with our innovative hydrogen propulsion system!
After more than two years of intensive research and development as part of our H2-Finity project, we successfully conducted the first flight with a gaseous hydrogen propulsion system on November 8, 2024, in Rotenburg. This system is based on a fuel cell that powers an electric motor – a significant step toward sustainable aviation technologies.
This achievement was only possible thanks to the collaboration with our incredible partners: mb+Partner, Thelsys, and ZAL – Center of Applied Aeronautical Research. We extend our heartfelt thanks for their active support and unwavering commitment. A special thanks also goes to the Hamburg Investment and Development Bank (IFB Hamburg) for funding the project through the GATE I program. Without this support, this success would not have been possible.
The past months have been marked by intensive testing and evaluations. From analyzing individual components to the complex integration into the drone, we have gained valuable insights for the future – whether in flight physics, cooling, electronics, or functionality. This successful maiden flight marks a significant milestone in realizing our vision.
Now, we look ahead with great motivation to the upcoming test phases and the final stretch of the project. A huge thank you to our entire team at TECCON Consulting & Engineering GmbH for their passion, dedication, and innovative spirit, which made this project a reality.
We are working on the future
Green hydrogen is already being used in many areas today. And we are researching many other possibilities.
