20\u201322 October 2026 in Hamburg, Hall 6, Stand M40-4 on the HZwo joint stand<\/b>\n
\n
\nHydrogen is the smallest molecule in the world, and it behaves accordingly: it escapes through seals, needs high pressure or extreme cold, and turns every shipment into a permitting question. Not so once it is stored in iron oxide nuggets. From 20 to 22 October, AMBARtec AG will show how this works at the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg \u2013 on the HZwo joint stand in Hall 6, Stand M40-4.<\/b>\n
\nThe underlying principle was already in industrial-scale use in the 1970s; AMBARtec has developed it further for today\u2019s hydrogen economy. During loading, hydrogen reduces iron oxide nuggets to iron. At the point of use, all it takes is steam: the iron oxidises and releases the hydrogen again. In between sits a storage unit that loses nothing, is not under pressure and is not classed as dangerous goods.\n<\/div>\n\t \t <\/div>\n\t \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In Hamburg, we will present three applications:\n
\n
\nHydrogen on the move \u2013 in standard containers<\/b>\n
\nOur storage units fit into 20-foot containers and travel by crane, ship, lorry or rail \u2013 with no conversion work at ports, no retrofitted vessels and simpler approval procedures. Because the steam produced during loading can be captured and fed back into electrolysis, hydrogen production costs fall by up to 30%, and the water required for loading by up to 90%. In the longer term, bulk carriers will ship the loaded iron nuggets between continents.\n
\n
\nClean hydrogen from dirty gases<\/b>\n
\nTogether with Rouge H2 Engineering AG, we produce high-purity hydrogen from gases such as blast furnace, coke oven and converter gas, syngas from biogenic residues and sewage sludge, and landfill gas. The two-stage chemical looping process yields hydrogen of up to 99.5% purity at up to 100 bar \u2013 without a compressor. Water-gas shift and pressure swing adsorption are no longer needed, making the production chain around 30% cheaper. On a biomass basis, levelised costs are below \u20ac5\/kg, and the biogenic CO\u2082 is available for CCU or CCS.\n
\n
\nWarm homes even during dark doldrums<\/b>\n
\nFor municipal utilities and district energy suppliers, we will show how surplus wind and solar power is held as hydrogen in the iron storage unit until it is needed during cold, windless spells with high electricity prices. It then supplies power and heat to the local heating network. Heat pumps cover the base load, our storage handles the peaks, and existing boilers and combined heat and power units keep running. The grid connection can be up to 60% smaller; as demand grows, the plant can be extended with further containers while in operation.\n

\nVisit us<\/b>\n
\nBring your specific question \u2013 your heating network, your gas stream, your transport route. At the stand, we will be happy to develop initial ideas with you on how the technology could fit into your project.
