AMBARtec-H2-Speicher erfolgreich auf 250-kWh-Speicherkapazität skaliert

Highly efficient H2 storage system successfully scaled up to 250 kWh storage capacity

Test operation demonstrates the efficiency, safety and durability of AMBARtec's H2 storage systems

DRESDEN, 19 August 2024. AMBARtec AG has successfully completed and evaluated the multi-month field test of its H2compact 100 iron oxide-based hydrogen (H2 ) storage system. The results confirm the excellent energy balance of the entire process, from H2 production to storage charging and hydrogen discharge. By an optimal system integration of a high-temperature electrolysis (SOEC), efficiencies of over 80 % can be achieved. When the conversion to electricity via a high-temperature fuel cell (SOFC) is included in the analysis, the electricity-to-electricity analysis shows unprecedented energy efficiencies of around 60 %. The results also show the high cycle stability of the iron oxide nuggets.

Handelsblatt: Hydrogen transport with standard containers made by AMBARtec

The intercontinental transport of hydrogen (H2) using our iron pellets offers many advantages over conventional solutions (liquid H2, compressed gas H2, H2 derivatives).

Scientists also favour the method of storing and transporting H2 using the reactivity of iron respective iron oxide – as the Handelsblatt article ‘Wenn der Wasserstoff per Container ins Werk kommt’ (‘When hydrogen arrives at the plant by container’) shows.

Green Hydrogen Innovation Congress: Saxony’s Minister of Economic Affairs in dialogue with AMBARtec

Saxony's Minister of Economic Affairs, Martin Dulig (in picture left), used his visit to the Green Hydrogen Innovation Congress in Dresden to learn more about how our alternative hydrogen storage technology works and its numerous advantages. Speaking to Uwe Pahl, AMBARtec's Technical Director, he was particularly impressed by the maturity of the technology and its practicality. After all, the storage systems can be used immediately - without the need for lengthy and costly adjustments to the infrastructure.

Enormous Interest in Our Storage Solutions

During the Hannover Messe, we engaged in discussions with many interested parties, potential partners, and stakeholders. The feedback was consistently very positive. At this point, we would like to thank the numerous visitors to our booth as well as the organizers of the Lower Saxony joint booth.

AMBARtec Develops Compact 1000-liter Storage Unit for Storage and Transport of 90 kg of Hydrogen (H2) per Storage Unit

 DRESDEN, April 22, 2024. AMBARtec AG is scaling up its field-tested iron oxide-based hydrogen storage unit to a volume of 1000 liters. Its storage capacity, at 90 kg of hydrogen, is more than 10 times larger than the capacity of conventional 300 bar pressure gas H2 storage units of the same size. The stored energy of 3 MWh enables initial applications in the industry. For more information, visitors of the Hannover Messe can visit the AMBARtec booth, located at the Niedersachsen Pavilion, Hall 13, Booth C61.

The potential applications of the AMBARtec storage unit are diverse, ranging from highly efficient energy storage to the secure transportation of hydrogen over considerable distances, and even to hydrogen propulsion in maritime shipping. Looking ahead, AMBARtec plans to integrate its 1000-liter modules into standard 20-foot containers, facilitating handling and transportation via conventional logistics means such as cranes, trucks, trains, and ships. Each container will boast a capacity of 600 to 900 kg of H2 (equivalent to 20 to 30 MWh).

22.-26. April: Our highlight at the Hannover Fair: storage unit for 90 kg of H2

AMBARtec develops compact 1000-liter storage unit for storage and transport of 90 kg of hydrogen (H2) per storage unit.

At the Hannover Fair, we will report about the numerous possible applications of the storage system – from highly efficient energy storage to the secure transportation of H2, and even to H2 propulsion in maritime shipping.

Visit us at the Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) joint Stand, Hall 013, Booth C61. Or attend our presentation on April 26, 2024, at 10:20 on the Energy 4.0 Conference Stage.

Happy New Year

Team AMBARtec wishes you a happy, peaceful and successful new year.

We are well prepared for the tasks that lie ahead of us and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with our partners and companions. We are particularly looking forward to reach important milestones in the coming months, such as the completion of our H2compact 1000 storage system with a storage capacity of 3 MWh.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

From the team at AMBARtec, we gratefully reflect on a remarkable 2023, filled with achievements and substantial progress. Following the successful multi-month test campaign of our HyCS storage system prototype, the 250-kWh storage has been operational since autumn, marking the next phase of expansion. We are currently working diligently on scaling up to the 3 MWh storage system.

As Christmas approaches, we take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to our valued business partners, steadfast companions, and interested parties. Your support fuels our commitment, and we look forward to channelling this energy into collaborative projects in the coming year.

We wish you a Merry and Blessed holiday season and a prosperous and healthy 2024.

Sustainable H2-Future: CEO Matthias Rudloff at CHC Forum Science, Dresden

On the 25th of October 2023, our CEO, Matthias Rudloff, had the honor of representing the business perspective at the CHC Forum Science panel discussion. The key takeaways from the discussion:
1. To advance the growth of the hydrogen economy, we urgently need economically viable business cases for #hydrogen applications.

2. It’s vital for policymakers to establish straightforward and practical regulatory frameworks to support this transition.

3. While fundamental research is essential, #Germany has made significant progress. Our challenge now is fostering companies that turn this research into value for the German economy.
