The Comet team has started this January, with strength and enthusiasm, the new PECATHS project within the Horizon Climate, Energy and Mobility program under the topic of Emerging Energy Technologies for a Climate-Neutral Europe.

Comet will lead the entire communication and dissemination part of the project, which consists of 7 partners from 4 different countries and a duration of 4 years.

PECATHS is the acronym for “Photo-electrocatalytic routes for Long-Term Sustainable Hydrogen Storage”

By integrating the chemical and energy sectors, the project aims to synthesize basic chemicals and achieve long-term energy storage in liquid form, improving both the sustainability and efficiency of energy systems. One of the main advantages of the LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier)-based technology is its ability to transform hydrogen gas into a stable liquid energy carrier, which facilitates storage, transport and distribution.

This project not only aims to reduce operating costs but also seeks to contribute to the development of sustainable energy infrastructures, vital for the energy networks of the future.

On January 23 and 24, we were present at the project kick-off meeting at the facilities of the UJI (Jaume I University of Castellón), the project coordinator, to whom we thank for hosting us.
