ROAD2X – Robust And Dynamic Electrolysis for Power-to-X Dynelectro Elcogen Aalborg University DTU - Technical University of Denmark European Energy In the ROAD2X research project, five partners will mature a new, innovative method for operating high-temperature electrolysis, so that the lifetime of the electrolysis plants can potentially be increased to over 10 years. The Innovation Fund has invested DKK 18 million in the project. Power2X is a term for the use of sustainable electricity from solar cells and wind turbines for the production of synthetic fuels. Power2X is therefore expected to be central in the transition to a more sustainable energy system in the coming years. One of the promising possibilities associated with Power2X is high-temperature electrolysis. Unfortunately, high-temperature electrolysis plants have so far suffered from a limited lifespan, and the electrolysis units rarely last longer than 2 years. The degradation is due, among other things, to impurities which "poison" the units over time, as well as temperature fluctuations in the units during operation. The collaborators in ROAD2X will jointly develop a new method for operating the electrolysis units. The method is called AC:DC operation, and can precisely address the aforementioned challenges with impurities and temperature fluctuations. The founder of Dynelectro, Søren Højgaard Jensen, has patented the method for AC:DC operation, and says about the project: - The ROAD2X project is of great importance for making AC:DC operation and high-temperature electrolysis ready for commercialization. When the project is completed, it will open up new possibilities for electrolyzing CO2 and producing, for example, green methanol. The project partners include Dynelectro and the established Finnish-Estonian electrolysis company Elcogen, with Aalborg University and DTU - Technical University of Denmark contributing as partners with advanced testing capacity to the project, while the company European Energy is responsible for an analysis of the business potential in the use of high-temperature electrolysis for the production of green methanol.

😎 #TGIFriday! We have a read for you 🍵📖👉 We created a new #webpage on #NumericalModelling and #simulation 👨💻 of the #hydrogen #combustion processes 💥 taking place in the #GasTurbine combustion system ⚙️ This task is in our project performed mainly by our partners SINTEF Energy Research and CERFACS. This dedicated section explains mainly their unique #SimulationMethods 💡🔧✅ ⌛ Wait no more and read it via the 🔗 in the comments 👇 #HorizonEU #HydrogenCombustion #HydrogenTechnology #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyTransition

One of the things that exercised minds when we were having initial discussions about the bidding documents and business cases that became Freeport East as long as 4 years ago was #hydrogen. There were a multitude of transport and port use cases. There are ample local renewables to go straight to #greenhydrogen production without decarbonising #greyhydrogen first , but what of the challenge of getting it from where it's produced to where it's being used if you don't have a pipeline going past your front door ? And how can you store it and cost effectively transport it ? Early last year , in a Teams discussion with Summit Energy Evolution Limited in Bacton (where we also learned that there isn't a railway freight wagon currently able to carry hydrogen) they mentioned in passing at the end of a discussion an Australian company called Rux Energy they'd read about who'd developed a patented "smart sponge". Their "smart sponge" which doesn't require hydrogen to be compressed to 350/700 bar or frozen until it liquefies at minus 260 degrees C or converted into ammonia and cracked out is what they call in the trade a #Metalorganicframework or microscopic pores which hold hydrogen. Effectively you can get more hydrogen in a given space more cheaply than other methods. So we found them on the internet and sent them an email telling them about Freeport East and asking Dr Jehan Kanga , the #founder and #ceo to tell us a bit more about their smart sponges ! A lot of people were interested in Rux , we had a number of early morning and late night Teams calls on both sides with Sydney , 2 visits and Rux are currently involved in 2 successful UK innovation bids , a Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition consortium to deliver hydrogen generated #coldironing in #ports and also in a UK-Australia Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnership bid to deliver a #type5 #composite #hydrogenfueltank with the National Composites Centre for a light marine vessel. You can read more about both on the Freeport East website. So in the two days a week I'm not contracted to work for Freeport East , I'm really proud to be helping build Rux's profile in the UK as it also builds its UK team !

2.7 billion people around the world suffer from water scarcity at least one month a year. Tapping into the water in the atmosphere around us as a fully renewable resource is a very promising concept, but especially in arid and remote regions existing technologies are struggling. At Atoco we are leveraging nano-engineered reticular materials to address those challenges. Powered by ambient energy, our technology can efficiently generate water even in the driest and most remote regions without the need for grid-connection. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/dssr8ecu

“Finland’s organizations to work on #hydrogenstorage research project” April 10, 2024, - Aida Čučuk “VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Geological Survey of Finland GTK and industrial partner organizations have launched a research project #HydrogenUnderGround (#HUG), focused on #undergroundstorage of #hydrogen .” “The two-year project brings together 16 partners, with VTT and GTK assuming the central roles in project coordination and research activities, VTT revealed, adding that the focus of the project is on constructed #gasstoragesolutions because Finland lacks natural ground formations suitable for #gasstorage .”” “According to VTT, hydrogen underground storages are widely seen to play a critical role in the #greenhydrogenvaluechain as the production and demand of hydrogen needs to be balanced.” “The institution claimed that storages are necessary to enable the stable supply of hydrogen to companies utilizing #greenhydrogen , which cannot operate in an economically sound way without hydrogen storage.” “”Storing hydrogen above ground, akin to traditional methods for natural gas, proves impractical for #cost and #safety reasons. Preliminary reviews affirm underground storage as the most affordable and #safeoption on a large scale,” VTT said.” https://lnkd.in/ekimzmJ5? Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Ingenieur Cornelis Kopjes: ,,Wat een effing mangaanknol (zie foto, red.) kan, kan ik ook!’’ 🤓 Experts warn against hype for deriving green hydrogen from direct seawater electrolysis | by Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres Direct seawater electrolyzers would require years of high-end research. Furthermore, DSE electrolyzers are not even necessary—a simple desalination process is sufficient to prepare seawater for conventional electrolyzers. Yet hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding are spent on this idea, and in 2023 alone, there were more than 500 publications (this number is growing exponentially) on direct seawater electrolysis. https://lnkd.in/eiJy_aBf Zie ook: In den beginne was de mangaanknol On the surface of the nodules, the team “amazingly found voltages almost as high as are in an AA battery”, Sweetman said. This charge could split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called direct seawater electrolysis, the researchers said. https://lnkd.in/ekjPtGsV #direct #seawater #electrolysis #DSE #green #hydrogen #desalination #renewables #energy

💧☀ Excited to announce the publication of the results from a project I was involved in during my time at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, now in the prestigious Desalination journal (Q1, 97% percentile, CiteScore 15.2). The study presents a comprehensive economic assessment that investigates the viability of utilizing solar energy to power a multi-stage, surface heated, vacuum membrane distillation (SHVMD) process. This innovative approach is aimed at treating hypersaline "produced water" from oil and gas operations in Midland, Texas, as a sustainable alternative to traditional method of injecting wastewater into disposal wells. This was a joint effort between National Renewable Energy Laboratory, University of Michigan, University of California, Los Angeles, Colorado School of Mines, California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), and Berkeley Lab. Proud to contribute to research that not only advances technology but also promotes environmental sustainability. Link to article: https://lnkd.in/gJYRHchX #sustainablity #desalination #brine #solar
