The construction and operation of a state-of-the-art PEM hydrogen generation plant at the TÜV NORD GROUP site in Essen-Frillendorf was analysed in detail. Various installation options and the site itself were analysed. The authorisation procedure and safety aspects were carefully considered and worked out in detail. The feasibility study was concluded with a well-founded economic analysis and a comprehensive overall assessment of the business model.

This project is an important part of the Business Metropole Ruhr (MBR) application to the renowned HyPerformer Programm of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMDV). DMT ENERGY ENGINEERS provided comprehensive support in coordinating the funding application. An overall package of 10 individual projects was put together and a funding application was successfully submitted. Part of the funding granted is now being channelled into H2 electrolysis at the TÜV NORD GROUP site in Essen-Frillendorf.

Through our expertise and commitment, we are making a significant contribution to the promotion of hydrogen technology and the realisation of a sustainable energy future at the industrial location of Essen.

Brief study on ammonia as a hydrogen derivative:

• Overview of the current state of research and development
• Potential analysis
• Risk assessment
• Analysis of the challenges of utilising ammonia as an energy source and storage medium for hydrogen

Companies involved: DMT ENERGY ENGINEERS, TÜV NORD EnSys and HydroHub

Hydrogen and products based on it (so-called derivatives) are seen as drivers of the energy transition because they enable the decarbonisation of the economy and society by replacing fossil fuels and energy sources. Ammonia is currently the derivative with the greatest potential both as an environmentally friendly chemical feedstock and fuel and as a transport and storage medium for hydrogen and green electricity. These were the findings of the study, which was commissioned by the World Energy Council Germany.

In December 2023, Weltenergierat Deutschland (WER) and the participating TÜV NORD GROUP companies presented their short study „Ammonia as an energy carrier for the energy transition". Dr. Thomas Kattenstein from DMT ENERGY ENGINEERS gave an online presentation to 170 participants from the specialist community, science and the media. The 88-page paper provides an overview of the current state of research and development as well as the potential, risks and challenges of utilising ammonia as an energy source and storage medium for hydrogen. This is compared to methanol, liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), synthetic methane (SNG) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) for direct transport.

Companies involved: DMT

DMT was commissioned to build a new high-pressure coke oven gas scrubbing plant which, among other things, purifies coke oven gas for injection into the blast furnace. The coke oven gas is used as a reducing agent. Coke oven gas contains over 55 per cent hydrogen and helps to reduce the use of carbon for iron ore reduction in "green steel production". In this way, ROGESA and therefore Dillinger and Saarstahl reduce their CO2 footprint and are committed to greater climate protection and the achievement of climate targets.
