Netlab looks for companies interested in biomass gasification with hydrogen as main product:
Netlab promotes a high temperature, indirectly heated gasification technology developed by Green Fortress Engineering (spin-up of Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis, IUPI) which yields a produce gas in vol %: H2 42 %, CO2 9 %, N2 6 %, CO 38 %, CH4 5 %.
Typical hydrogen yields with a feed rate of 1 to 2 tons of biomass (e.g. crop and ligno- cellulosic waste, cardboard and animal manure) per day result in 5 to 8 kg H2 at production costs of 1,2 to 2 US$ per kg H2 depending on price of biomass.
Solid state hydrogen storage
Netlab assists an Israeli company in developing solid state hydrogen storage for stationary and mobile applications. The technology is based on Mg-hydride compacted with graphite for mechanical stability and thermal conductivity. We have lined up protoptype development and are looking for investors aiming at commercial applicat
Climate adaptation of European cities
Climate adaptation or mitigation of global warming affecting cities is currently carried out in several European cities. The corresping means have an immediate impact but take time in political decission and implementation. As representative example Netlab investigated the Aspen Seestadt in Vienna as one of the largest urban development projects in Europe.
Several means of lowering the imapact of heat waves and torrential rainfalls are applied such as the sponge city concept, greening of roofs, wind corridors, evaporation cooling and parks. The „Aspen Seestadt“ in Vienna is an example of such measures undertaken in Europe.
