Michael Richter is addressing the challenge of transporting renewable hydrogen through the existing natural gas pipeline network by proposing a solution that involves extracting pure hydrogen from a mixed gas using an ion-selective membrane. This flexible and compact technology, with manufacturing synergies with fuel cells and electrolysers, aims to overcome existing limitations through a comprehensive development approach including simulation studies, cost reduction analyses, prototype production, and intensive testing.

Michael Richter is studying chemical and process engineering at Graz University of Technology. A few years ago, he started working at HyCentA Research. Since then, he has been conducting and leading R&D projects on hydrogen technologies. His research embraces conceptualisation, simulation, application for funding grants, monitoring and experimental investigation of hydrogen infrastructures, electrolysis technologies, and applications in industry and mobility. With his PhD, he is investigating the electrochemical compression and purification as a promising alternative to state-of-the-art solutions.
