IMI has supplied it advanced VIVO proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser to support hydrogen-powered district heating in Germany.
The initiative, being carried out by the Fraunhofer-Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Systems (IEG) in Zittau, Germany, will set up a test facility at the Stadtwerke Zittau site to investigate real-scale extraction of heat from hydrogen generation.
Using PEM electrolysis, the companies expect to transfer the waste heat generated through a high-temperature heat pump. This will be fed into the municipal district heating network at the Stadtwerke Zittau, to assist with the research into the viability of the technology.
