HYPRAEL showcases advanced alkaline electrolysis at EHEC 2024: near-zero energy loss on the horizon

Posted on by

During the presentation of the HYPRAEL project at the Energy Hydrogen Conference (EHEC) 2024, attendees learned more about our advanced alkaline electrolysis technology for the production of pressurised hydrogen with near-zero energy loss potential.

Vanesa Gil Hernández, ARAID researcher at Aragon Hydrogen Foundation (Head of R&D) as well as part of the coordinating team, during the Parallel Session 1: Alkaline Electrolyzers: Materials, Components & Stacks, had the opportunity to explain the objectives of the project and the impact it will have on cost and energy savings.

More than 30 people attended this specific session and had first-hand knowledge about the project partners and the contribution that each of them will give to HYPRAEL.

In addition, Vanesa Gil took a few minutes to mention the European Union and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership as project funders.

HYPRAEL makes progress and plans ahead at Steering Committee Meeting

Posted on by

HYPRAEL makes progress and plans ahead at Steering Committee Meeting. The HYPRAEL project’s Project Steering Committee (PSC) convened in Milan, Italy, on February 21-22nd, 2024. This meeting served two key purposes:

  • Oversee and validate the overall direction and policy of the project.
  • Foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among partners.

During the meeting, each partner presented their progress in fulfilling their assigned roles within the project. Additionally, the team discussed various challenges encountered so far and strategized solutions for addressing them as the project moves forward.

Beyond the formal meeting, the partners gained a firsthand look at Syensqo’s facilities. This visit provided valuable insights into their expertise and contributions to the project.

The HYPRAEL consortium remains dedicated to achieving its primary goal: drastically reducing the energy consumption associated with hydrogen production. The collaborative efforts and shared knowledge gained at the PSC meeting will undoubtedly propel them closer to this crucial objective.

Some of the participants followed the meeting online.

HYPRAEL overview at Clean Hydrogen JU AEMEL Project Findings.

Our colleague Laura Abadía, I+D coordinator, explained the project in the  “2 IN 1 WORKSHOP: Clean Hydrogen JU AEMEL Project Findings & JRC Testing Methodology on Electrolyser Degradation”.

The aim of this workshop was, first of all, to give an overview of the results of the 3 Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolysers (AEMEL) projects supported by the Clean Hydrogen JU.

The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has supported a number cutting-edge projects on Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolysers (AEMEL) which will be showcasing their targets, achievements and remaining challenges. It was followed by an overview of the JRC developed methodology on low temperature electrolyser degradation phenomena including accelerated testing.

The presentations during the workshop were led by:

Antonino Aricò, director of CNR ITAE, with the ANIONE project.

Luis Colmenares-Rausseo, Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF, with the CHANNEL project.

Aldo Gago, Team Leader Low Temperature Fuel Cell & Electrolysis at DLR, with the NEWELY project.

Besides, the workshop was divided in 3 sessions:

-Session 1: Overview of AEM electrolysis projects (moderated by Nikolaos Lymperopoulos)

-Session 2: Low temperature electrolyser degradation phenomena and test methodology (moderated by Thomas Malkow)

During this session, Laura Abadía explained the process

-Session 3: Roundtable discussion on electrolyser degradation phenomena, and test Methodology including ast protocols (moderated by Thomas Malkow).

The workshop was a hybrid event with the majority of presenters in physical attendance at the Clean Hydrogen JU premises joined by on-line participants.
