Biofuels and e-fuels are important building blocks in the global quest for a sustainable energy future. They are renewable and also promising alternatives to fossil fuels, as they reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 95 percent in comparison. WIKA has been supporting …

“Green” ammonia drives decarbonisation forward
Lukas Rothermich | Applications“Green” ammonia is an ideal energy carrier. Being free of carbon, it offers a highly interesting potential for the future. As a typical building block of the “power-to-X” principle, “green” ammonia contributes to driving decarbonisation – in particular as …
Biofuels: Precise temperature profile for production
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsRenewable instead of fossil: biofuels contribute significantly to climate protection and, in addition, to a more sustainable economy. They are produced, for example from used cooking oil, in reactors at temperatures of up to 450 °C. Monitoring these reactors requires …
Using a multipoint thermocouple to produce sustainable aviation fuel
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsWaste is valuable. Solid municipal waste, such as packaging, paper or food, can be used to produce fuel for aircraft, for example. During the production process, the control of exothermic reactions requires reliable and precise temperature monitoring. This requires a …
Measuring the response times of electrical thermometers
Joachim Brückner | Know-howThere are many reasons for using electrical thermometers with short response times: optimisation of the efficiency, more efficient utilisation of the working range of a process, avoidance of thermal overload of the process medium. But how are response times measured, …
