“Green” ammonia is an ideal energy carrier. Being free of carbon, it offers a highly interesting potential for the future. As a typical building block of the “power-to-X” principle, “green” ammonia contributes to driving decarbonisation – in particular as …

Biofuels: Precise temperature profile for production
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsRenewable instead of fossil: biofuels contribute significantly to climate protection and, in addition, to a more sustainable economy. They are produced, for example from used cooking oil, in reactors at temperatures of up to 450 °C. Monitoring these reactors requires …
Using IIot in a vineyard optimises frost protection
Thomas Hasenöhrl | ApplicationsClimate change gives winegrowers a very hard time. Unforeseen weather events such as late frost or heavy rain can cause massive crop losses. The same is true for prolonged drought and moisture. Monitoring environmental conditions is therefore playing an increasingly …
Hydrogen refuelling: Temperature influences the filling process
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsHydrogen is playing an increasingly important role as an alternative energy source, including as a climate-friendly fuel for motor vehicles. Its physicochemical properties make the supply of H 2 to cars and commercial vehicles a challenge for measurement technology. …
Using a multipoint thermocouple to produce sustainable aviation fuel
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsWaste is valuable. Solid municipal waste, such as packaging, paper or food, can be used to produce fuel for aircraft, for example. During the production process, the control of exothermic reactions requires reliable and precise temperature monitoring. This requires a …
