Helmholtz Hydrogen Cluster at Jülich Is Gathering Momentum

The captain is on board. On 1 November, Prof. Peter Wasserscheid was appointed founding director of Forschungszentrum Jülich’s newly established Institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy (INW). With its H2 innovation centre, INW will pool the scientific activities in this field and become the innovative core of the Helmholtz Cluster for a Sustainable and Infrastructure-Compatible Hydrogen Economy (HC-H2)

Dig4morE Uses AI to Improve Yields from Solar Plants

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to fully exploit the potential of solar plants is the main aim of the collaborative project Dig4morE, a cooperation between the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg and photovoltaic companies SunSniffer, Aquila Capital, and Sunset Energietechnik. The project partners aim to develop a method that uses AI to identify measures of optimizing the plants in a quick and cost-effective manner.
