Project Overview
Although hydrogen, compared to other fuels, has the highest energy content per unit weight, its low density means that its storage represents one of the greatest technological challenges to be solved in order to deploy its use.
The main objective of the DAHSS Energy Project is to develop hydrogen storage in solid compounds so that our customers can select the storage option best suited to their needs (compressed gas, liquid storage or solid storage). In particular, solid storage is emerging as a promising option where volume is a major requirement or where fast refuelling is required and always available regardless of location.
Innovation in Hydrogen Storage
Hydrogen storage in solid compounds can be achieved by two processes: physisorption and chemisorption. Physisorption involves a weak interaction between the hydrogen and the solid material, allowing easy release of the gas. Chemisorption, on the other hand, involves a chemical reaction, generating stronger interactions, and therefore requires a higher energy input for hydrogen recovery.
The DAHSS Energy Project aims to study both processes and select the most suitable and innovative materials to optimise storage conditions and maximise efficiency.
Impact and Future of the Project
The success of the DAHSS Energy Project will enable us to offer better, scalable, modular and environmentally sustainable hydrogen storage solutions. This progress will contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable energy model.
Conclusion
The DAHSS Energy Project is a crucial step towards implementing sustainable energy solutions and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Through innovation in hydrogen storage, H2Vector is committed to actively contributing to the new European energy paradigm that aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, thus driving a cleaner and more sustainable future.
