Hydrogen beyond the hype

Piscopia
Hanno Böck
Hydrogen is a crucial piece of a future climate neutral industry and lately gained a lot of attention. The talk will separate hype from real need for the smallest molecule and we will look at why will likely see hydrogen-based steel plants in the future, but hydrogen-based cars and heaters will play a minor role at best .
The EU recently published a Hydrogen roadmap, many countries, Germany included, have their own hydrogen strategies. Many hydrogen-based pilot projects have been announced lately. Behind the push for hydrogen is a mixture of lobbying interests - primarily by the natural gas industry - and real concern about decarbonizing certain industries. The talk will give an overview on hydrogen and the current hype. Today hydrogen is usually produced with natural gas, but in the future green hydrogen made with renewable energy and electrolysis will hopefully take its place. There is an emerging consensus that hydrogen will play its role in certain areas like the steel and chemical industry, but it is not the climate panacea that some think it is. We will also detour to some of the molecules that can be made from hydrogen and learn why future ships may run on Ammonia.

Vorträge über spannende Themen im Netz zu halten oder selber anzuschauen ist toll. Dinge gemeinsam zu entdecken und auszuprobieren macht aber oft noch mehr Spaß. In diesem Vortrag werdet ihr erfahren, wie Hands-On Tutorials mit 10-15 Teilnehmern auch auf Online Veranstaltungen wie der Reboot to Respawn durchgeführt werden können: Mit virtuellen Linux Desktops in der Cloud und anderen Open Source Tools. Im Vortrag werde ich zeigen, wie mit Cloud basierten Desktops jedem Teilnehmer eine ...

Did you know that you can get a domain that contains an emoji? Well, technically speaking you can't because domains only allow a very limited character set. However, there is a workaround to that called Punycode. You can encode non-supported characters to punycode and allow people to visit your site by entering those characters in their URL bar -the browser will take care of encoding them. Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, unicode is more complex than one would think; especially the parts around ...
