Two companies. Two sectors. One common goal. At first sight, Euro-Labor GmbH and Microbify GmbH cover two completely different topics: Failure analysis and materials investigation vs. microbiology. Together with Jens Jürgensen and Gregor Manke, we took the chance to discuss potential synergies and found a common ground: microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). On the one hand, this type ofcorrosion is still neglected in many industries. On the other hand, MIC is seldom t

Introduction: rethinking biomass production The global demand for sustainable food, fuels, and chemicals is driving the development of alternative biotechnologies that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and agricultural resources. Gas fermentation is emerging as a promising solution. This process leverages microorganisms to convert gaseous substrates, particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen (H₂), into microbial biomass and other value-added products. Unlike conventional f

Understanding natural hydrogen Natural hydrogen, often referred to as white or geologic hydrogen, is molecular hydrogen (H₂) that forms naturally within the Earth’s crust. Unlike industrial hydrogen, which must be produced via electrolysis or fossil fuel reforming, natural hydrogen is generated underground through geological processes such as water-rock reactions and mantle-derived gas migration. It can move through porous rock formations, accumulate in subsurface traps, an

Microbify’s recent interview with H2NEWS Chile conducted by Grace Keller, we had the opportunity to discuss one of the most underestimated challenges of the energy transition: the role of microorganisms in hydrogen and gas infrastructure. Co-founder and managing director of Microbify GmbH Dr. Linda Dengler in an interview with H2NEWS Chile. Grace Keller is the Founder and Director of H2NEWS, Vice President of H2 Chile, and a member of Women in Green Hydrogen. Through her wo
