1.5 million for the joint project “Offshore Wind Energy Systems for Hydrogen Supply
The AiF is funding the lead project “Offshore Wind Energy Systems for Hydrogen Supply” as part of the call for proposals “Lead Technologies for the Energy Turnaround”. The aim is to provide technologies for offshore wind energy generation and its conversion into energy carriers and to develop concepts and methods to make this energy and these energy carriers, such as hydrogen, usable on land.
The research partners are involved in four sub-projects. The Institute for Design and Strength of Ships at TUHH will work on the sub-project “Influence of corrosive media on the vibration strength of offshore wind turbines” with the Institute for Steel Construction at Leibniz Universität Hannover (lead).
