Festo BionicHydrogenBattery

October 2, 2024

The BionicHydrogenBattery from Festo is a completely new, fully automated solution for the energy-efficient storage and low-risk transport of hydrogen with the help of bacteria.

With the biotechnological system BionicHydrogenBattery, Festo is presenting a completely new, fully automated solution for the energy-efficient storage and low-risk transportation of one of the energy sources of the future: hydrogen. It is converted into formic acid with the help of bacteria – at mild temperatures and low pressure compared to previous processes.
