Pioneers together
Hydrogen plays a key role in the energy transition as an energy source, as a storage medium and as a replacement for fossil fuels, which is why Robert Habeck, the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, and several state ministers for economic affairs issued grants for 23 extraordinary, forward-looking hydrogen projects in Germany in July. Twelve of those are based in Lower Saxony and Bremen.
Understanding language
Digital voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa have been around for years, but such technology can also have applications in shipping. The Fraunhofer Centre for Maritime Logistics and Services (CML) has developed the “Mar FM” speech recognition system, which is by far not only applicable in the maritime industry.
Container overboard
With a novel combination of a tracking unit and a communication platform, Jade University aims to make it easier to locate containers lost at sea in future.
