Styria becomes part of the first European hydrogen valley for industrial applications
The projects within the Hydrogen Valley cover the entire value chain – from the production and transportation to the storage and use of green hydrogen. New plants are planned to produce more than 10,000 tons of hydrogen per year in the three federal states. The Hydrogen Valley will thus make a significant contribution to the […]
Siemens Energy triples production area for wind power transformers
Transformers that can convert electrical voltage into a higher or lower voltage have been manufactured in Weiz for more than 130 years. The production of these transformers can only be automated to a very limited extent and requires specialized personnel. The plant is a leader in transformers for use in wind turbines on the high […]
88,000 tons of waste, a Terminator and expertise from Green Tech Valley
In 2022, before the Styrian waste specialist Komptech gets involved, people in Caotun imagine themselves in a different world. Because too much groundwater is being used, the soil in the community of 100,000 inhabitants in Nantou County in Taiwan is sinking. The construction of the 600 million euro artificial lake “Niaozueitan” is intended to provide […]

TU Graz Revolutionises Simulation of Metal-Organic Frameworks
Hydrogen storage, heat conduction, gas storage, CO2 and water sequestration – metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have extraordinary properties due to their unique structure in the form of microporous crystals, which have a very large surface area despite their small size. This makes them extremely interesting for research and practical applications. However, MOFs are very complex systems […]
