HFC conference showcases innovative SMEs
SME Instrument champions joined a host of key players in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell (HFC) technology this week at the Commercialization of Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Technology Conference in Birmingham, UK.
The event showcased British and international projects, programmes and policies on mobile, stationary and storage applications, and showcased companies delivering to market and projects which are facilitating the move to commercialisation.
Norbert Dischinger, the CFO of the Phase 1 SME Instrument champion Promeos GmbH, held a presentation during the event about its project HyBurn, the innovative in situ premix gas burner which makes the combustion of difficult-to-handle gaseous fuels like hydrogen or hot gases more efficient, less polluting, less noisy, safer and more compact.
Two other SME Instrument champions were also present at the event in order to engage in networking with the HFC players and find new information about this growing market: Leunamme Engineering SLU, Spain, which received the SME Instrument grant for Phase 1 for the project WELL, an innovative ‘telescopic lift’ system that allows the assembly and replacement of the blades of a wind turbine on a wind farm without the need for tonnage cranes; and Kiwi Power, UK, which received the SME Instrument grant for Phase 1 project KDRP, a revolutionary, low cost, demand-response platform.
