Germany’s 511,000km gas grid set to integrate hydrogen
The Hydrogen Power Storage and Solutions East Germany (HYPOS) project initiative is working to build an extensive distribution network across Germany to enable the transportation of hydrogen.
The aim is to create an intelligent infrastructure of distributor networks and storage stations that will make the clean energy source available to all regions in the nation.
Researchers at the Frauhofer-Gesellschaft have developed a new membrane technology that enables energy efficient and economic separation of hydrogen from natural gas.
The breakthrough of this technology means that it is possible for the two substances to be routed through the national natural gas grid tother and then be isolated from each other at the final destination.
New Fraunhofer membrane technology enables co-transport of hydrogen and natural gas greencarcongress.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from greencarcongress.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.

As of 2021, new regulations in Germany require all new homes to be designed as very low-energy buildings. Founded by Zeyad Abul-Ella and Henrik Colell in 2014, the Berlin-based company Home Power Solutions (HPS) provides off-grid power supply solutions to help new homeowners meet this requirement and transition to clean renewable energy.
Dedicated to the independent and sustainable supply of decentralized energy, HPS develops systems that store and convert solar energy in single- and two-family homes to support the renewable energy revolution and reduce greenhouse gases.
The company’s Picea system is the first off-grid solar-hydrogen-based power supply system worldwide to provide homes with their own specifically designed, localized and emission-free light, heat, and clean air all year round.
