Brightank develops a novel ammonia cracking catalyst to produce clean hydrogen. This project explores catalyst optimization and integration paths for industrial use, focusing on scalability and performance, to enable future development toward commercial applications.

With the project we like to build hightly integrated components by 3d metal printing replacing the assembly of several individual elements like PTL, BPP, gaskets etc - as it is state of the art. By integration interface losses shall be avoided and thus the overall efficiency shall be improved.

Hydrogen is key to achieving decarbonization targets, but its large-scale adoption depends on establishing trust in its safety. SAFE-H2 addresses this by deploying AI-enabled smart valves as intelligent safety nodes, combining edge-cloud intelligence, predictive safety, and real-world validation.

Our highly integrated, low-cost photothermal-assisted solar water splitting system uses a patent-pending metasurface to produce hydrogen directly from sunlight. By utilizing the full solar spectrum, it targets an efficiency of > 15%, making green hydrogen a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

This project targets the development and testing of high-temperature materials and thermal energy storage for solar fuel production plants and solar process heat supply at up to 1500 °C, focusing on new material innovation, design optimisation, and scalable deployment.

The application of hydrogen in the sector of heavy-duty mobility is of paramount important in order to reach carbon neutrality. The present project aims at developing and operating the first full-scale hydrogen refueling station (HRS) based on a metal hydrides compressor (HyCo).

This project supports net-zero strategies driven by governments and companies by developing a compact, cost-effective, domestic and modular gas measurement node to monitor blended gas. It combines MEMS-based spectrometry and ultrasound technology to determine gas flow and calorific value.

This project proposal aims at developing a novel electrified ammonia cracking reactor for hydrogen production. The reactor will be enhanced with engineered structures obtained by additive manufacturing, able to withstand flexible operations to follow renewable energy profiles.

In order to reach economically acceptable efficiencies, centrifugal compressors require peripheral speeds that cannot be achieved by metals due to the very high resulting centripetal forces. This work builds onto GT's previous developments to further improve performance and modelling capabilities.

Enable high-pressure hydrogen compression by self-healing ceramic sealing elements. Parts are produced by multi-material spark plasma sintering with tribology enhancement using dry lubricants, laser texturing, targeting tighter clearances and extended lifetime.

The GreenHub project aims to demonstrate how Switzerland’s energy self-sufficiency can be increased. This is to be achieved through the intelligent use of synergies between different technologies, such as the conversion of locally generated heat, CO2 and electricity into chemically storable energy sources. The objective is to close the winter electricity gap of 9 TWh and thus maintain a robust year-round energy supply for Switzerland. This is being demonstrated at regional level through the establishment of a Green Energy Hub. The Horgen waste incineration plant serves as a real laboratory and is substantially involved in the project as an implementation partner. A significant part of the research results from the four-year project will be tested in Horgen using prototypes in real operation and examined for their scalability for other waste recycling and industrial plants. During the duration of the project, guided tours will also be offered on site to give interested members of the public an insight into the research results and the potential of Green Energy Hubs for a sustainable energy supply. https://flagship-greenhub.ch/
