Festo presented a unique concept for the simple storage and safe transportation of hydrogen using bacteria with its “BionicHydrogenBattery” exhibit at the Hannover Messe 2024. They emonstrated how industrial bioprocesses can be operated efficiently in the long-term using a wide range of components and solutions from their product portfolio. Festo is also committed to biologization as a field of learning: with modular learning systems, an additional Chamber of Commerce qualification and the development of a “Biomechatronics” degree course.
