Excursion: Hydrogen test centre at Sonplas

Shortly after the start of the semester, the first excursion was already on the agenda for the Master's students on the Hydrogen Technology and Economics programme! Together with programme director Prof. Ertan Akgün, they went on an exciting visit to Sonplas GmbH in Straubing.

Michael Frankl and Werner Riederer took the time to give the students a comprehensive introduction to the development and technology of the hydrogen test centre. The infrastructure of the test centre was presented in detail in a lecture. There was also an inspiring online presentation by Peter Fledersbacher (Woodward L'Orange) about his company's activities in the field of fuel cell technology.

After the tour of the test centre and test bench, a get-together rounded off the afternoon. Ideas and experiences in the field of hydrogen technology were exchanged.

Many thanks to everyone involved for this successful and very enriching visit to Sonplas GmbH!
