Grant Award in Germany for SINEWAVE Project
ITM Power is pleased to announce that its wholly owned
subsidiary, ITM Power GmbH, has been approved for a EUR1.95m award
for the SINEWAVE project, as part of the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research's (BMBF) hydrogen flagship project H2Giga
that focusses on technology development for series production and
industrialisation of electrolysis systems. The project runs to
March 2025 and is the first time ITM Power has accessed German
Federal funding.
The SINEWAVE project brings together necessary scientific and
technical skills to close research gaps in the field of series
production of electrolysis systems. The research project is
dedicated to the exploration of process engineering, materials
science and digital sub-disciplines in order to make a significant
contribution to the construction of efficient integrated
large-scale proton-conducting membrane (PEM) electrolysis systems
that will be able to produce large quantities of green hydrogen
cost-effectively in the future. The project therefore contributes
to the realisation of decarbonisation in German industry.
The consortium partners are:
-- Linde GmbH (project coordinator)
-- ITM Linde Electrolysis (ILE) GmbH,
-- ITM Power GmbH,
-- Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf, Institute of Fluid Dynamics
-- Technical University of Dresden, Institute of Process Engineering and Environmental Technology
-- Technical University of Munich, Institute of Plant and Process Technology
ITM Power GmbH will focus on the following key aspects:
- Education and training of experts in the field of
installation, maintenance and operation of efficient large-scale
electrolysers
- Researching safety training programs for customers and
technical personnel to ensure safe plant operations
- Developing live monitoring and reporting of operational
electrolyser systems
- Development of improved reliability, availability &
maintenance systems for electrolysers
- Developing a robust supply chain for large scale
deployments
Dr Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, said: "Our German subsidiary
and its management team has embedded itself in that country's
hydrogen discussions and debates. Our participation in the
Federally funded SINEWAVE project provides an endorsement of our
place in Germany's hydrogen strategy. I congratulate the team at
ITM Power GmbH."
