The new PtX plasma development environment at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) in Greifswald, part of the Hydrogen Research Factory MV, was officially opened by State Secretary Jochen Schulte, demonstrating Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's commitment to a climate-neutral energy future. The project aims to advance innovative technologies for the energy transition, particularly focusing on hydrogen production efficiency and environmental sustainability. Led by institutions in Greifswald and Rostock, the research factory endeavors to pioneer practical solutions for a green hydrogen economy, emphasizing decentralization and cross-sectoral applications. Central to the facility is the development of plasmalysis, a process that offers a more resource-efficient and climate-friendly method of deriving hydrogen from methane, producing solid carbon as a valuable by-product. This technology has promising applications in various sectors, including biogas plants, LNG terminals, maritime operations, and decentralized energy systems. The inauguration ceremony highlighted the potential of plasmalysis in driving the phase-out of fossil fuels and promoting local, efficient hydrogen and carbon supply for future energy needs.
