Event: Citizen information event on the industrial research platform WAVE-H2 in Freudenstadt
October 20, 2023
On October 19, 2023, the University of Stuttgart hosted a citizen information event on the innovative industrial research platform WAVE-H2 at the Campus Schwarzwald. The aim was to comprehensively inform citizens about the developments and objectives of the adaptable, interconnected H2 industrial research platform and to foster an open dialogue.
The event began with a presentation by the city of Freudenstadt, followed by a keynote speech on hydrogen by Prof. Dr. Sauer from the Institute of Energy Efficiency in Production (EEP). Subsequently, citizens had the opportunity to direct their questions directly to the experts.
In addition to citizens, representatives from the city of Freudenstadt, the planning architecture firm, the general contractor, council members, and a representative from the Campus Schwarzwald participated. They all answered questions and discussed the significance of the research platform for the region.
The WAVE-H2 project team placed great emphasis on addressing concerns, creating transparency, and dispelling any misunderstandings. The discussions showed that the project not only aims for scientific excellence but also to create tangible benefits for the region, particularly through cooperation with the Campus Schwarzwald.
The University of Stuttgart thanks all participants for their engagement and valuable contributions. The event marks an important step towards the successful integration of H2 technology into the local economy for a sustainable future.
News: Building permit granted for the innovation modules at the Stuttgart Site
October 13, 2023
We have the building permit! A milestone in the BMBF-funded WAVE-H2 infrastructure project!
As part of the WAVE-H2 research project, a groundbreaking, adaptable, energy-flexible, and interconnected hydrogen research platform is set to be established. It will consist of modular units and will be constructed on the Campus Vaihingen of the University of Stuttgart.
The innovation modules are designed for a period of ten years. Their main purpose is to explore and further develop groundbreaking developments in the energy sector. Successful innovations can be adopted on an industrial scale.
The innovation platform comprises three laboratories, two test centers, and an office module with associated sanitary facilities. The laboratories and test centers will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and will occupy an area of approximately 200 m².
The building permit for this groundbreaking research project was recently granted, and the project team of the ipv EES (Institute for Photovoltaics, Department of Electrical Energy Storage Systems) and EEP (Institute for Energy Efficiency in Production) will implement this visionary endeavor. We look forward to hearing from companies interested in realizing the project.
