The notion of using hydrogen as a means to power everything from factories to your car may sound a bit futuristic but actually it has been around since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution – hydrogen powered the first internal combustion engine and has since become an integral component in the modern refining industry, as reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Many countries around the world, including here in Europe, are increasingly supporting initiatives and policies to scale up hydrogen technologies and embed them deeper into our energy and transport systems.

Knees are a remarkable piece of evolutionary engineering and can bend and extend as well as exhibit a degree of rotation. An EU-funded project has developed revolutionary software to put just the right amount of movement back into injured knees.

The CH2P project brings about a new technology for hydrogen refuelling stations, capable of cogenerating hydrogen, heat and electricity from natural gas and biomethane. The device combines high efficiencies with low environmental impact and high hydrogen purity.
