A superconducting magnet for hydrogen liquefaction is demonstrated in Germany

A first-of-its-kind demonstration unit is showcasing hydrogen liquefaction using magnetocaloric cooling, a process that demands much lower energy consumption than conventional methods used in industry. A joint venture between Magnotherm Solutions GmbH and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, as part of the E.U.-funded HyLICAL project, has begun operations at the new facility on HZDR’s campus, showcasing a technology that has the potential to cool hydrogen to temperatures as low as –253ºC.
