It gives us the opportunity to test the results of our research for the transport and storage of hydrogen on site. Previously, we have only been able to design and simulate our models and ideas on our computers. We are now putting things into action and can develop innovative processes and equipment which we later aim to use, for example, in our demonstration projects and to subsequently bring them into industrial practice,\u201d says INW subinstitute director Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Peschel. \u201cThe technical centre is therefore also crucial to the further development of our institute. This new infrastructure will create new opportunities and jobs that will be very important for our further growth at INW.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/hch2.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04.06.25_Susanne-Spoerler_450x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4612\" style=\"border-radius:7px;width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hch2.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04.06.25_Susanne-Spoerler_450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/hch2.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04.06.25_Susanne-Spoerler_450x450-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hch2.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04.06.25_Susanne-Spoerler_450x450-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-500907ec0c70c2e454cee883c29b07ca\"><em>&#8220;We are really happy that the technical centre was built so quickly thanks to J\u00fclicher Immobiliengesellschaft.
