Storing energy and hydrogen and transporting it with standard logistics
We are an innovation leader in the field of iron oxide-based hydrogen (H2) storage systems.
The process consists of the reduction and oxidation of iron oxide or iron: During storage, the added H2 reduces the iron oxide storage medium. The vapor released in the process can be reused in electrolysis. During discharge, water vapour is added to the storage unit at the point of use. This causes the iron to oxidise, releasing H2.
Multi-stage practical tests confirm the excellent energy balance of the entire process, from H2 production to storage unit filling, transport and discharge of the hydrogen. Optimum system integration of SOEC enables efficiencies of more than 80 per cent to be achieved.
The possible applications of the AMBARtec storage system range from highly efficient energy storage to the safe transport of hydrogen, even over long distances, and hydrogen drives in shipping.
