Fresh new Dr.-Ing. from IMVT 😀 Dominik Hess defended his thesis on CO2 direct air capture built into HVAC systems of large buildings linked to on site CO2 conversion into fuels in miniaturised plants successfully! Thank you Dominik for the outstanding work and all the best! #DAC #HVAC2.0 #CrowdOil

Happy to share that Siyu Zhong successfully defended her thesis today and is now Dr.-Ing. 💪 Great achievement, and well deserved! Many thanks, Siyu, for accepting the challenge to study CO2 electrochemical reduction at unconventional process conditions and establishing this research line at IMVT.

We have another new doctor from IMVT! Xiang Zhan successfully defended his thesis today 💪. The basis was 4 years of hard work on a novel microchannel membrane reactor for heterogeneous photocatalysis where the membrane acts as a flow-through catalyst or as a reactant distributor. Well deserved!

Last week we got another new plant for our Energy Lab, a 500 kW anion exchange membrane electrolyzer from enapter. Adrenaline always goes high when expensive big components are to be moved with a massive crane in confined space and placed with centimetre accuracy on the foundations… Well done again!

Carbon dioxide removal from air in buildings: A massive crane places two containers accommodating a temperature-vacuum-swing #DAC unit from DACMA on the roof of our institute building. The unit will be integrated with the ventilation system and serve as a demonstrator for building-integrated DAC.

After a very lively press event yesterday showcasing our floating experimental PtX platform, today and tomorrow we meet with all project partners in this nice location here: Atlantic Hotel Sail City in Bremerhaven. #H2Mare #PtX #Hydrogen #Offshore

Just arrived in Bremerhaven, where we build up a complete PtL process chain starting with CO2 capture from air as well as sea water purification via pressurised high-temperature co-electrolysis, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and syncrude upgrading to kerosene on a floating platform for offshore testing.

Nach etwas Regen ist die heimische PV Anlage immer einen Tick besser als bei lang andauerndem Sonnenschein… 7.9 kW bei einer Ost-West-ausgerichteten Anlage mit 11.6 kWp und mehr als der Hälfte der Panels nach Osten auf einem recht steilen Dach ist super 🌞💪

2nd German-Chilean Academic Forum in Berlin. Panel discussion „Science Diplomacy and Excellence in Research“. International collaboration is vital in Science. And it is needed for solving any of the so many global challenges we are facing these days.

Official inauguration event of INERATEC‘s first industrial power-to-liquid plant in Frankfurt Höchst today. The journey started about 10 years ago in the lab at IMVT. Glad to see where we have got so far :-) #PtL #eFuels #PtX

Lago Grey in Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Patagonia; Chunks of ice from the glacier floating on the water; South of Chile is the 3rd largest glacier area after Antarctica and Greenland; Nature is amazing! We are part of it. Act in a responsible way! #WorldEnvironmentDay

Before heading back home we went up to Colorado Mines Peak from Berthoud Pass this morning. Great weather and amazing views up there!

Hydrogen and its derivatives is a big topic at the AIChE 2025 Spring Meeting combined with the Global Congress on Process Safety here in Dallas. Production, uses, safety… a large number of presentations impressively shows the industrial interest and triggers hope that things are finally moving.

IMVT at the AIChE Spring Meeting 2025 in Dallas: Our colleague Dr. Mohit Singh got one of the best presentation awards :-) Well done Mohit!

A quote from the Global Congress of Process Safety panel discussion: „We want this transition to happen“ The panel highlights that the safety community is prepared to help companies starting to deal with widespread applications of hydrogen and derivates in the future.

Opening keynote. Hope to get an update on the chemical industry‘s view on future trends. While it‘s pretty clear that modern civilisation won‘t work without chemistry, the challenge we face is how we can transform the classical fossil-based chemical industry into a more sustainable industry.
