Several members of the HyLICAL consortium took part in the Delft Days on Magnetocalorics 2025, sharing the project’s latest research on advanced materials and magnetically driven hydrogen liquefaction.
Tino Gottschall (Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, HZDR) delivered an invited talk on magnetocaloric hydrogen liquefaction, presenting progress on materials development and the prototype demonstrator created within HyLICAL.
Oliver Gutfleisch (TU Darmstadt) presented recent findings on magnetocaloric materials for both room-temperature and cryogenic applications.
HyLICAL partners also contributed several posters showcasing current research. The Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) was represented by PhD candidate Vilde Gahr Sturtzel Lunde and project coordinator Christoph Frommen, who presented work on machine-learning-assisted discovery of magnetocaloric materials. Additional posters from Wei Liu and Allan Döring (TU Darmstadt), and Marc Straßheim (HZDR) covered topics including light rare-earth compounds, phase transitions, and material properties relevant to hydrogen liquefaction.
Together, these contributions highlight HyLICAL’s strong foundation in advanced materials science and its role in shaping more efficient, magnetocaloric pathways for hydrogen liquefaction.
The event provided valuable opportunities to exchange insights, explore collaboration, and position HyLICAL within the broader development of efficient magnetocaloric hydrogen liquefaction technologies.
