6.3.2023 10:01:34 CET | Business Wire | Press release
On March 6 and 7 at International LNG Congress 2023, more than 350 companies will discuss key challenges of the LNG industry – from transportation and storage infrastructure to use as a fuel or by end users. Graforce will introduce methane electrolysis (plasmalysis) – a game changing technology, which converts LNG into hydrogen. This allows large gas users to switch to clean-burning hydrogen without changing their energy supplier or method of transporting.

"We cannot do completely without fossil fuels yet. But the EU can still achieve its decarbonization targets if LNG, LPG or natural gas are no longer burned but converted into hydrogen and solid carbon with the help of green electricity and our hydrogen plants," said Dr. Jens Hanke, CTO of Graforce.
In the modular plasmalysis plants, a high-frequency plasma field, generated by renewable electricity, splits hydrocarbons such as methane into their molecular components: hydrogen and solid carbon. Compared to water electrolysis, plasmalysis requires only one-fifth the energy to produce the same amount of hydrogen. A single 20-megawatt plant can convert about 70,000 metric tons of LNG into hydrogen per year and save about 200,000 metric tons of CO2.
The hydrogen can be used for emission-free electricity and heat generation or in the chemical industry. Since the CO2 is sequestered in products over the long term, this technology is also the first market-ready alternative to carbon capture storage.
Cooperation for electricity-autonomous combined heat and power generation
In January 2023, Graforce entered a cooperation with Kawasaki Gas Turbine Europe. Within the plant solution, carbon-free hydrogen is produced from biomethane, natural gas, LNG or LPG. This is converted to electricity in Kawasaki's hydrogen gas turbine and reused in the plasmalysis to produce hydrogen. Thus, CO2-free electricity and high-temperature heat is generated. Once started, the whole system requires no further electricity.
About Graforce
Graforce is a German hydrogen technology company. Their power-to-X plants produce carbon dioxide free or carbon dioxide negative hydrogen and synthetic feedstocks – with highest efficiency and lower infrastructure costs in the multi-megawatt range. Thus, Graforce decarbonizes fossil energies, industrial sectors and the heat, transport and building sectors. The company is currently in the process of expanding its strategic partnerships to quickly scale its hydrogen technology worldwide. www.graforce.com/EN

Interactive Brokers Opens AI Connectivity to Any Tool Built on the MCP Standard28.7.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Clients can now connect their accounts to the AI tools they already use, built on the open Model Context Protocol standard Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global broker, today announced that clients can now connect their accounts to nearly any AI tool they already use. Previously limited to the certified marketplaces for ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok, clients can now also connect from a growing range of tools that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including Claude Code, Cursor, Perplexity, and Windsurf. MCP has become the common standard for connecting AI applications to outside services. Interactive Brokers' AI Integration has been built on MCP since launch, and clients can now connect from any MCP-compatible tool in addition to the certified marketplaces. “Interactive Brokers has long offered open APIs that let clients connect their accounts to the tools and systems they choose,” said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers. “Supporting AI too
Mindbreeze InSpire Reduces Token Maxxing, Turning Runaway AI Costs Into Predictable Enterprise Value28.7.2026 15:03:00 CEST | Press release
By grounding generative AI in precise, governed enterprise knowledge, Mindbreeze InSpire cuts the wasted tokens that inflate AI budgets and erode answer quality. Mindbreeze, a leading global provider of AI-based knowledge management solutions, today announced that Mindbreeze InSpire reduces token maxxing, the costly overconsumption of large language model (LLM) tokens that is straining enterprise AI budgets. By retrieving only the most relevant, grounded content and passing it to LLMs with precision, Mindbreeze InSpire lowers the tokens required per answer while improving accuracy, giving enterprises a path to scalable AI with predictable economics. Token maxxing has become one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise AI. As organizations connect generative AI to their data, many default to injecting large volumes of undifferentiated context into every prompt, repeatedly, across thousands of queries. Industry analysis has warned that tokens are becoming the true unit of AI cost,
Uptime Institute 16th Annual 2026 Global Data Center Survey: Deployment of High Density Racks Rising Fast, Operators Face Continued Recruiting and Retention Pressures28.7.2026 15:02:00 CEST | Press release
Uptime Institute today released the findings of its 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey, the most comprehensive study of the digital infrastructure sector. The 2026 results reveal an industry navigating workforce constraints, escalating outage expenses, even as rising costs remain the top concern for management teams. Financial Pressure and Resource Constraints Intensify: While high costs continue to be a primary concern for data center leaders, the 2026 survey also highlights escalating concerns over capacity forecasting, power availability, and supply chain disruptions. Power efficiency gains remain gradual. The industry saw minor improvements in average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) levels this year. While newer facilities may boast highly efficient designs, overall global progress is slowed by legacy infrastructure. The AI and Density Reality Check: Despite market enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence, expectations for AI in data center operations cooled slightly in 2026. Oper
