GREEN H2
What is
OHPERA about?
We aim to demonstrate the viability and feasibility of sustainable H2 production from industrial waste, being sunlight the only energy input.
With this approach, we will develop an unbiased tandem photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell to simultaneously produce green H2 and high added-value chemicals from valorisation of industrial waste.
OHPERA project in a nutshell
The OHPERA PEC cell will minimise the use of CRMs for solar-driven H2 production – reaching more than 90% efficiency in the electrochemical reaction –
while ensuring high added-value chemicals from valorisation of industrial waste.
6 entities will work on this objective, disseminating the main results through more than 7 scientific publications, and producing a roadmap for the further scaling-up of the solution to reach a higher TRL.
The project is funded by the Horizon Europe R&I programme with a total budget of around 3.2M€, under the schemes of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder calls, which support R&D of emerging breakthrough technologies.
