DENS Advances Hydrozine Aggregate Development with Key Partners

DENS is proud to announce a groundbreaking project aimed at advancing hydrozine aggregate technology in collaboration with MCM – specialists in machining and sheet metal. and Tolsma – experts in mobile fuel storagetanks. This initiative is supported through a subsidy program and focuses on making clean energy storage and deployment more efficient and scalable.

A Sustainable Alternative to Diesel Aggregates

The main objective of this project is to utilize formic acid (hydrozine) technology for the storage, transportation, and deployment of renewable energy. By converting sustainably generated electricity into hydrozine, energy can be stored and used later, replacing traditional diesel aggregates and significantly reducing emissions and environmental impact.

The key innovation in this project is the development of a hydrozine-powered aggregate ready for market introduction. This advancement is crucial in the transition to clean and sustainable energy solutions.

Three Core Objectives

To achieve this goal, the consortium has outlined three key development areas:

  1. Enhancing the Hydrozine Aggregate
    Current prototypes serve as proof-of-concept but are not yet scalable. This project aims to improve individual subcomponents, such as the reformer system, fuel cell, battery system, inverters, HMI, and hydrozine storage tank. Special attention is given to serviceability, data processing, and compliance with future regulations
  2. Establishing an Efficient Assembly Process
    To prepare for mass production, DENS is developing an economically viable and efficient serial assembly process. The challenge lies in seamlessly integrating various subcomponents to enable scalable production.
  3. Building a Regional Production and Supply Chain
    The consortium aims to establish long-term partnerships for hydrozine supply, production, assembly, and service. This includes developing the necessary software, regulations, testing, and certification.

Scaling Up for Market Success

The ultimate goal is to bring hydrozine aggregates (25 kW each) to market. Through this project, DENS, MCM, and Tolsma are setting the stage for a clean, scalable, and economically viable alternative to traditional diesel generators. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress!

The project was co-financed by the European Union.
