NTNU, Department of Energy and Process Engineering

Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has as its work area the total energy chain, from electric heat production to its end-use in industry, transport and buildings.

Present hydrogen-related R&D-activities are

• Thermal aspects of hydrogen storage in ad- /absorption type storage media, in particular the development of efficient storage containers with integrated heat exchangers for removal/supply of the heat of adsorption/absorption. The activities include experimental testing, characterization of material thermal properties, development of theoretical models and computer codes for simulation of complex geometries, and development of engineering tools for thermal analysis.
• Development of new, energy-efficient technologies for hydrogen cool-down and liquefaction.
