The challenge
Large scale hydrogen technologies implementation poses several challenges not only related to production but also related to the transporting and storing of hydrogen (midstream). The key to addressing many of these challenges lies in the appropriate development of advanced materials solutions. The main pain points related to this specific challenge are:
- Large and reliable storage
- The growth of a decentralised hydrogen market that will require storage capabilities nearby production sites
- Effective and cost competitive hydrogen storage and transport technologies
Resolving the above criticalities should also overcome several substantial health and safety risks associated to the transporting and storing of hydrogen including lowering of operational costs for business in the field.
Thematic scope
We are looking for solutions in the field of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) and Metal Hydrides solutions responding to the following features:
- Non market-established technologies
- Solid IP background
- Technologies with the potential to reduce operational, transport and storage costs Strong prospective to scale-up
- 4 to 9 TRL range
