Neuartige Wasserstofftanks als Beitrag zur Dekarbonisierung des Verkehrssektors

02.09.2022

MAST3RBoost (Maturing the Production Standards of Ultraporous Structures for High Density Hydrogen Storage Bank Operating on Swinging Temperatures and Low Compression) ist ein europäisches Projekt, das darauf abzielt, durch die Entwicklung einer neuen Generation von ultraporösen Speichermaterialien (Aktivkohlen/ACs und metallorganische Gerüstverbindungen/MOFs) für wasserstoffbetriebene Fahrzeuge (Straßen- und Schienenverkehr, Luft- und Wassertransport) eine industrie-taugliche Lösung für die H2-Speicherung bei kryogener Speichertemperatur (~-180°C) unter Kompression (100 bar) zu schaffen.

Leichtbau ist ökonomisches Schwergewicht und Schlüssel für den Klimaschutz

Studie zeigt erstmals wirtschaftliche Bedeutung von Leichtbau-Technologien in Österreich

01.09.2022

Es gibt kaum Technologien mit vergleichbarer Wirkung, doch wird sie als eigene Disziplin kaum wahrgenommen: Leichtbau ist eine Antwort auf Material- und Energieknappheit und damit eine Schlüsseltechnologie für den Klimaschutz. Leichtbau ist darüber hinaus ein Stärkefeld österreichischer Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen, das schon jetzt für eine Wertschöpfung von 9,4 Mrd. Euro sorgt und 77.400 Arbeitsplätze sichert. Auch für die Zukunft verspricht es weiteres Wachstum. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine erstmals durchgeführte Analyse der Ökonomin Anna Kleissner im Auftrag der österreichischen Leichtbauplattform Austrian Advanced Lightweight Technology (A2LT).
