Objectives

Large capacity storage facilities in terms of weight and volume, combining high energy efficiency, safety and competitive price.

Main research areas

  • Reversible solid storage at room temperature in metal and complex hydrides
  • Solid storage in porous and hybrid materials with high specific surface area
  • Regenerable hydrides with high weight capacity, hydrogen generation by thermolysis and hydrolysis, regeneration processes
  • Liquid hydrogen storage: cryogenic hydrogen and new hydrogen carriers NH3 and LOHC
  • Conformability and thermomechanical resistance of high-pressure tanks
  • Modelling of materials and storage tanks
  • Catalysts for hydrogen generation and incorporation
  • Decrease of critical raw material content, recycling processes
  • Optimisation of energy efficiency in the direct coupling of the electrolyser and the fuel cell
