PROJECTS

Innovationslabor: Nachhaltige Wasserstoff-Verbrennungskonzepte (abgeschlossen)

The project "Sustainable Hydrogen Combustion Concepts (WaVe)" aims to investigate how hydrogen can be used in combustion engines without releasing pollutants such as nitrogen oxides. The aim here is to develop clean hydrogen combustion engines that will ensure the pollutant-free use of hydrogen in the mobility sector.

The aim of the WaVe project, which is funded as an innovation laboratory by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture (MWK), is to use innovative measures to make hydrogen combustion so low-polluting that it is fully equivalent to other utilisation paths from an ecological point of view. Although no greenhouse gas emissions are produced when hydrogen is burnt, a few pollutants such as nitrogen oxides are still released at present. In about three to five years, the engines developed in the project should be ready for series production - and no longer emit any pollutants.

For the further development of hydrogen technologies, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture (MWK) is funding so-called innovation labs with up to 6.5 million euros. More information on the innovation labs.
