Abstract
Hydrogen is a promising potential green energy source. Many innovators and organisations are exploring efficient production and utilisation methods. However, due to the early stage of these advancements, there is still a significant amount of time before they are market-ready. The EU-funded H-GREEN project aims to help overcome the global energy crisis by assisting these promising advancements. To do so, it will focus on functional oxide materials for cost-effective green hydrogen production through water and assemble a consortium of industrial and research organisations and companies. The project will also train upcoming material scientists with new skills and expertise focused on green hydrogen technologies.
Significance for science
The H-GREEN project aims to address the global energy crisis by advancing pioneering technologies and materials in the photo-, pyro-, and electro-catalysis of water splitting. The project will leverage the unique properties of functional oxide materials to facilitate the cost-effective production of green hydrogen through water splitting, aligned with climate objectives in Europe. The consortium consists of fundamental research organizations and industrial companies with the expertise needed to solve this critical problem. Our research partners include the University of Picardie - UPJV (France) and the Joseph Stephan Institute - JSI (Slovenia), as well as the applied Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems at FRAUNHOFER Society (Germany). Two industrial companies, NANOTECH (Ukraine) and STERIMED (Morocco), are also part of our consortium. Through secondments and knowledge-sharing training, we'll equip a new cluster of material scientists with the skills and expertise needed to develop H-GREEN technologies that will power the world sustainably.
