Fabio Blaschke presents his research at the Falling Walls Lab innovation competition. Source: Lunghammer - TU Graz By Birgit Baustädter - After playing Activity as a youngster, Fabio Blaschke soon realised that his future lay not in drawing, but in technology. Today, his research is examining iron pellets as a means for storing hydrogen. The idea is that these small, red and fairly inconspicuous pellets can be used to store hydrogen safely and - above all - indirectly, in a straightforward and non-toxic approach. Fabio Blaschke is part of a research team at TU Graz's Institute of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technology that is investigating whether iron oxide could be used as a means for storing hydrogen. "We're taking an indirect approach to storage. Hydrogen is used to extract the oxygen from iron oxide.
