Hydrogen technology researcher

[Olivier Thomann @othomann]

I resigned from my job at @VTTFinland and I am off for some new tasks in January! I am immensely grateful for all VTT offered me. I came as an freshly graduated and I leave as a senior researcher with fantastic collaborations with many #VTTpeople and a Phd in my pocket! Thanks

Japan launches first liquid hydrogen carrier ship! Quite a technical achievement! This is the first step for global hydrogen trade and a big opportunity for country with abundant renewable energy supply. https://t.co/gox1LC08jg

What is a hydrogen valley? The Dutch region of Groningen made a nice movie about it. https://t.co/ivVWswXe8w

We’re almost falling in the same trap as we did w/ solar, where we were underestimating the industry’s ability to cut cost & scale up. That’s what we might be seeing here w/ hydrogen. – @jonandrelokke of @nelhydrogen is optimistic on speed of hydrogen cost reduction. #BNEFsummit

Listening to big plans for hydrogen and wind power at the #windmeetsgas19 in Groningen. Excited to represent @VTTFinland in the afternoon session. #smartotaniemi

[Olivier Thomann @othomann]

Sunfire to deliver a MW-class high-temperature electrolyzer to Total. This is a very big step for the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer technology! https://t.co/DbtTBpVlcw

[Olivier Thomann @othomann]

Excellent article on field experience of power production with biogas and SOFC system from @convionfuelcell. Project funded by @fch_ju. https://t.co/3Y0HuyHyDn

Yara announcement to install an electrolyzer to produce renewable hydrogen for fertilizer production is big news for the renewable and electrolyzer industry as the need for hydrogen of fertilizer production is huge!

[Yara International @yara]

Agreement signed today: Yara and @Nelhydrogen will collaborate to produce #carbonfree #hydrogen for #fertilizer production, an important step towards Yara's ambition to be #carbonneutral by 2050. Read more here: https://t.co/4QcmXTUG74

@Hydrogenics is organizing a workshop about the 'EU Regulatory Framework for Renewable Hydrogen projects' with a visit of its water electrolyzer manufacturing facility in Belgium on 5 September 2019. Program & (free) Registration➡️https://t.co/88TXQ1lbgb

Otaniemi is so rich! Walking is also good for inspiration when feeling empty in front of the computer!

[Olivier Thomann @othomann]

Lovely way to plan holiday, cycle along scenic route throughout Europe. Slow pace, low cost and light footprint!

[EuroVelo @ecfeurovelo]

New data shows that more cyclists are using the eight #EuroVelo routes in France than ever before!

We live in exciting time. @Shell_Germany is installing a very large (10 MW) electrolyser in their Rheinland refinery, showing the interest in green #hydrogen for oil refining. The potential is huge as it only supply a fraction of the refinery hydrogen demand. #Refhyne @fch_ju

[Shell Germany @Shell_Germany]

Das Werkzeug steht schon bereit: Heute ist feierlicher erster Spatenstich für die weltweit größte
Wasserstoff-Elektrolyse in der Rheinland Raffinerie. #H2 #Wasserstoff #Refhyne

Electrolysis experts are taking new challenges at the #ICE2019. Thanks to @MagnusThomassen and his team for the excellent conference!

[Olivier Thomann @othomann]

Shaky flight to Sandane, Norway to present some results on #rSOC from #balance_eu project at the #ICE2019. Looking forward this conference set in a scenic fjord. #VTTPeople #h2020

[Olivier Thomann @othomann]

Big push for hydrogen ship! @VTTFinland coordinates the FLAGSHIPS project, which will launch two #hydrogen #fuelcell ships, one in Lyon and one in Stavanger! With ABB, CFT, Ballard & LMG Marin and support from @fch_ju https://t.co/wKeYf2oRCJ

In Germany, diesel locomotives are replaced by #hydrogen #fuelcell trains. Is this considered by @VRmatkalla, rather than buying new diesel locomotive?

[Bart Biebuyck 🇪🇺 @bartbiebuyck]

Fantastic news from Alstom in Germany, 27 Fuel Cell trains are ordered.
It is going fast and more will follow.

RMV’s subsidiary fahma orders the world’s largest fleet of fuel cell trains from Alstom https://t.co/CskdvhFbbZ
