Energy Globe Awards 2022 part 2: MPREIS and Take 3

MPREIS MPREIS Hydrogen from Austria has implemented the complete technical and organizational hydrogen value chain. The project represents a practical implementation of the sector coupling electricity and mobility as well as electricity and process heat. An alkaline pressure electrolyzer with a power consumption of 3.2 MW produces around 1,300 kg of green hydrogen daily. It is used to generate CO2-free process heat for the oven operation of the Therese Moelk bakery and as a diesel replacement for the operation of the first three heavy fuel cell electric trucks in Austria. This alone can prevent CO2 emissions from around 1.5 million liters of diesel per year. By using the waste heat, the overall efficiency is over 90%. Take 3 Take 3 for the Sea is a global initiative from Australia that uses cross-border awareness raising and training to make young people aware of the upcoming environmental problems and they are motivated to behave in an environmentally friendly manner. The focus here is on avoiding or collecting plastic waste. Around 10 million thrown away items are collected and disposed in 129 countries every year. Many 100,000 young people are already committed to Take 3. The global reach via social media is around 50 million.
