Hydrogen Energy Breakout Session

To master the energy transformation, hydrogen technology stands at the forefront as a key solution for a sustainable future. This session provides an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in GeoDict for fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies, with a particular focus on developments shaping their efficiency and operational performance.

The session begins with an overview of cutting-edge innovations in GeoDict in the field given by Dr. Ilona Glatt. Dr. Sven Linden, will provide insight into the status of feature requests from electrolyzer and fuel cell experts made in autumn 2024. It will be followed by a discussion among all participants about the importance of these requests in addressing critical performance challenges. Key topics include the implications of these feature requests on stack design and efficiency for hydrogen production and fuel cell applications.

The session will feature two GeoDict-live demonstrations. The first, given by  Dr. Jürgen Becker who originally introduced the Hydrogen Technology and Business at Math2Market, will explore "Relative Permeability in Compressed PTL" offering insights into the role of material permeability in optimizing fuel cell performance. The second demonstration, given by Dr. Arne Jacob, will address "Unresolved Permeability in CL-MPL-GDL Compound," focusing on ongoing challenges in understanding and improving permeability within these critical components.

The session will conclude with networking opportunities, allowing participants to engage with experts, discuss the day's topics, and share insights on future developments in fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on the latest advancements and challenges in harnessing hydrogen’s full potential for the global energy transition, while benefiting from the experience of many other GeoDict users in the hydrogen technology field. We are looking forward to your participation!
