At the forefront of innovation, batteries are not just powering the present but are also integral to future hydrogen systems. Recognizing this synergy, the expert team at the Slovak University of Technology (STU) is expanding its focus beyond battery technologies to encompass hydrogen solutions. This step forward is more than an evolution of expertise—it’s an opportunity to contribute to the rapidly growing hydrogen sector and foster meaningful collaborations across Europe.
A team from STU participated at the prestigious European Hydrogen Week 2024 which was a pivotal moment in this journey. During the event, the team immersed themselves in panel discussions that shed light on the latest advancements in hydrogen technologies, explored groundbreaking exhibits, and engaged in meaningful conversations with representatives from leading universities and companies. These interactions were invaluable for envisioning potential joint projects and tackling new challenges in hydrogen systems.
The conversations highlighted the ongoing FreeTwinEV Horizon project with University of Twente and Linz Center of Mechatronics, and ADDSEN, which showcases the expertise in battery systems. Sharing the knowledge in battery diagnostics and energy storage technologies underscored the commitment to interdisciplinary innovation. As batteries play a vital role in hydrogen systems, the team’s skills were frequently mentioned as a solid foundation for expanding into hydrogen-related initiatives. This milestone was made possible by the NCP_WIDERA.NET grant, mediated by CVTI SR.
By building bridges between battery and hydrogen technologies, we are excited to be at the heart of sustainable energy innovations in Europe.
