IN­NO­va­ti­ve ca­ta­lyst and its re­ge­ne­ra­ti­on for clean HY­dro­gen Pro­duc­tion via me­tha­ne PY­ro­ly­sis - IN­N­O­HYP­PY

Pro­ject sum­ma­ry

Ac­cording to the Sus­tain­able De­ve­lo­p­ment Goal on En­er­gy (SDG7) as well as Green Deal, Re­PowerEU and other EU in­itia­ti­ves, clean en­er­gy so­lu­ti­ons are es­sen­ti­al to coun­ter cli­ma­te chan­ge as well as to reach cli­ma­te neu­tra­li­ty. The IN­N­O­HYP­PY pro­ject aims at the fun­da­men­tal and prac­ti­cal in­ves­ti­ga­ti­on of Fe/Ni ma­te­ri­als to de­ve­lop novel ca­ta­lyst for clea­ner and more ef­fi­ci­ent clean hy­dro­gen pro­duc­tion via me­tha­ne py­ro­ly­sis tech­ni­que as well as their re­ge­ne­ra­ti­on in order to in­crea­se its lon­ge­vi­ty du­ra­bi­li­ty, where all the re­si­du­es will be used as se­con­da­ry raw ma­te­ri­als for fur­ther ap­p­li­ca­ti­on. The pro­ject re­flects to cli­ma­te chan­ge in­clu­ding en­er­gy con­ver­si­on, hig­her ef­fi­ci­en­cy with im­pro­ved over­all per­for­mance, avo­iding the use of cri­ti­cal raw ma­te­ri­als, uti­liza­ti­on of waste ma­te­ri­al and en­su­ring the sus­tai­na­bi­li­ty of the whole pro­cess. Be­si­des, lo­we­ring the car­bon foot­print, the pro­ject will sug­gest dual clean hy­dro­gen pro­duc­tion (via hy­dro­ly­sis and py­ro­ly­sis re­ac­tions) tech­no­lo­gy.
