Additive manufacturing for new energy technologies

The project, which is funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) as part of the Energy Research Program 2023 (e!MISSION), aims to develop innovative manufacturing methods and new types of materials. These should enable a paradigm shift in cell design and contribute to an increase in power density, reliability and service life, a reduction […]

HyCentA and AVL revolutionize the testing of hydrogen technologies

HyCentA Research GmbH, Austria’s leading non-university research institute for hydrogen technologies, and AVL List GmbH, a leading global provider of mobility and testing technologies, are joining forces. As part of the ReMET project (Revolutionary Measurement and Testing Technologies for Hydrogen Applications), they are jointly driving forward the development of pioneering measurement and testing methods for […]

Start-up “Cairos” revolutionizes green gas production

The energy transition requires new solutions for storing renewable energy. The technology start-up Cairos has developed a groundbreaking methanation technology that converts biogenic CO2 into renewable synthetic natural gas (BioSNG) using green hydrogen. This efficient process was researched over ten years at the University of Leoben and a patent has been filed. Thanks to their […]

Researchers at TU Graz turn textile waste into paper

In Austria alone, around 220,000 tons of textile waste are produced every year, of which almost 80 percent is incinerated. This means that valuable raw materials are irretrievably lost. A team led by Thomas Harter from the Institute of Biobased Products and Paper Technology has a sustainable solution to this problem: the researchers have developed […]

Bacteria to make recycling of electric car batteries more efficient

The switch to electromobility plays an important role in achieving climate neutrality. According to estimates by the European Commission, at least 30 million electric vehicles are expected to be on the EU’s roads by 2030. However, their batteries have a limited lifespan and will have to be disposed of over time. However, the old lithium-ion […]
