The European project PeCATHS is pleased to present its new presentation video, an audiovisual piece that captures the essence and vision of this revolutionary initiative. The video, now available on our YouTube channel, offers a clear and concise introduction to the challenges PeCATHS is addressing and the innovative solutions it proposes in the field of sustainable energy storage.
As the world moves towards a more sustainable energy future, the intermittency of renewable sources such as solar and wind presents a significant challenge. Long-term energy storage is key to ensuring a stable and reliable supply. Green hydrogen has established itself as a clean and promising energy vector, but current methods for storing it are often complex, costly, and present logistical barriers.
The new PeCATHS video illustrates this problem precisely, highlighting how the project seeks to overcome these obstacles through disruptive technology.
PeCATHS is developing cutting-edge photoelectrocatalytic and electrocatalytic routes to transform the way we store hydrogen. The core of our innovation lies in the ability to transfer hydrogen directly from sustainable biomass to liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), all without the need to produce hydrogen in a gaseous phase.
This approach has two fundamental advantages:
- Process Simplification: By eliminating the gas phase, the system becomes inherently simpler, safer, and more efficient, reducing the complexity of the required infrastructure.
- Circular Economy: The process not only stores hydrogen but also simultaneously generates high-value chemicals, creating a circular economy model that integrates the energy and chemical sectors.
The use of LOHCs facilitates much safer and more economical transport and distribution of hydrogen, allowing for on-demand, cost-effective, and fully reversible supply.
The presentation video not only explains our technology but also shares the vision of a future where green hydrogen is easily accessible, contributing to the mitigation of climate change and the global energy transition. This project, funded by the European Union, brings together leading research institutions to make this vision a reality.
We invite you to watch and share the video to learn more about the PeCATHS project and its potential to revolutionise the energy landscape.
