A look behind the scenes: Current research projects and their potential for the future.
After offering you fascinating insights behind the scenes and into our lived sustainability philosophy, we would now like to introduce two of our research projects. With these developments, we are leveraging innovative technologies to
address ecological challenges and enable long-term change.
An exciting example of the current progress in our research is the CO2 hoover - the C-HOOVER system. This globally unique technology uses a special filter technology to efficiently extract carbon dioxide from the ambient air. The C-HOOVER system is currently being successfully operated on a long-term test stand in Lustenau. This project could make an important contribution to combating climate change by helping to filter CO2 from the atmosphere and thus improve air quality.
Another forward-looking project is the development of an environmentally friendly saltwater battery that consists of textile components, among other things. This technology is characterised by a high level of safety, as the battery is neither flammable nor corrosive. A first prototype is already in the test phase and could represent significant progress for a sustainable energy supply.
Behind this innovative project is Nikola Todorovic from Storex Power GmbH, who is working intensively with his team on the research and further development of this technology. Saltwater batteries offer a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional rechargeable batteries, as they contain fewer pollutants and are potentially more cost-effective. It remains exciting to see how this project will develop and what new possibilities it will open up for smart textiles and other applications.
Our current research projects show how innovative and versatile the solutions we are working on at the Grabher Group GmbH are. The C-HOOVER system and the salt water battery are examples of how our research is paving the way for the future of the textile industry.
