| In different hydrogen research projects Linde has been engaged from the very beginning. Linde participated in the joint venture of the “Solar-Wasserstoff-Bayern GmbH” in Germany, where the essential components for a solar hydrogen system were investigated.
For the European “Ariane” rocket Linde built the hydrogen infrastructure for the test facilities of the “Vulcan” engine.
For mobile applications such as different bus and car projects Linde has been providing liquid hydrogen tanks and systems.
Linde has been the cryogenic partner for several generations of BMW research vehicles as well as for the latest fuel cell car “Necar 4” from DaimlerChrysler.
For a stationary fuel cell cogeneration plant at Hamburg, Germany, Linde took care of the hydrogen infrastructure and necessary approvals for the LH2-storage. This FC-unit was installed amidst a residential district requiring the application of high safety standards. |
