On March 17, 2024, Professor Jens Friebe, Bernhard Siano (Department of Power Electronics) and Roland Gaber (Fraunhofer IEE) gave a presentation on a concept study for the planned electric boat "H2-Elsa", a hydrogen-powered passenger ship for the Fulda. It promises a sustainable alternative in the maritime sector and illustrates the diverse applications of hydrogen technologies.
