The IOB at the Heavy Duty Congress 2024

On 24 Sep­tem­ber 2024, our col­le­ague Chris­to­pher Wün­ning took part in the Hea­vy Duty Con­gress 2024 in Duis­burg, which was orga­ni­zed and hos­ted by the Cen­ter for Fuel Cell Tech­no­lo­gy (ZBT). As part of the event, Wün­ning pre­sen­ted the BioH2Ref pro­ject, which deals with the decen­tra­li­zed pro­duc­tion of hydro­gen from resi­du­al materials. 

The key deve­lo­p­ments in the field of mobi­li­ty with hydro­gen were also pre­sen­ted at this year’s con­gress. Exci­ting pre­sen­ta­ti­ons were given, focu­sing on the topics of hydro­gen sto­rage, logi­stics and the use of hydro­gen in the hea­vy-duty sec­tor. In par­ti­cu­lar, the use in hea­vy-duty trans­por­ta­ti­on, inclu­ding trucks, con­s­truc­tion and agri­cul­tu­ral machi­nery, was dis­cus­sed. Chris­to­pher Wün­ning gave a pre­sen­ta­ti­on on his pro­ject, which met with gre­at inte­rest and posi­ti­ve feedback.

Bet­ween pre­sen­ta­ti­ons, a lunch break and a cof­fee break offe­red the oppor­tu­ni­ty to net­work and exch­an­ge ide­as with other par­ti­ci­pan­ts. Con­ver­sa­ti­ons also took place out­side at the various infor­ma­ti­on stands, whe­re Wün­ning was in char­ge of a stand as well. This made it pos­si­ble to make fur­ther valuable cont­acts and pro­vi­de infor­ma­ti­on about the BioH2Ref project.

In addi­ti­on to the spe­cia­list event, a gui­ded tour of the ZBT was also offe­red. The con­gress ended with a con­vi­vi­al get-tog­e­ther, whe­re par­ti­ci­pan­ts were able to con­ti­nue dis­cus­sions and make new con­nec­tions in a rela­xed atmosphere.

We would like to thank the ZPT for the suc­cessful orga­niza­ti­on and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pre­sent our pro­ject. We look for­ward to incor­po­ra­ting the impres­si­ons gai­ned into our pro­ject and fur­ther expan­ding our col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with the participants.
