On August 29, 2024, our colleague Christopher Wünning visited the Agri Idea Sprout 2024 in Lengerich near Münster. As part of the BioH2Ref project, which deals with the production of hydrogen from residues, an open session was held to introduce the production and use of hydrogen in agriculture.
The event began with a welcome and pitch round in which each topic was briefly introduced. The open sessions then took place. Christopher Wünning gave a short presentation of the BioH2Ref project. He was supported by Dr. Lucas Hüer from ECOS, who is working on similar topics. The potential of hydrogen in agriculture was then discussed in more detail, with a particular focus on the production of hydrogen from residual materials and its direct application in agricultural machinery. Steam reforming was also explained in more detail. After a lunch break, further open sessions took place.
Various agricultural and social topics were discussed throughout the event. The event took place on a historic farm, where there was also the opportunity to make new acquaintances and establish contacts. The idea of the project met with broad approval from the participants.
We would like to thank the organizers of Agri Idea Sprout 2024 for the great event and the opportunity to present our project. We look forward to incorporating the knowledge gained into the BioH2Ref project and further expanding our collaboration with the participants.
