H2MW
Development of a pilot plant for green hydrogen production using microwave technology
The H2MW Project aims to develop a pilot plant for green hydrogen production using microwave technology. This groundbreaking advancement leverages the reduction of Solid-State Ionic Materials (SSIM) by microwaves at significantly lower temperatures compared to conventional methods.
The project’s objective is to design and construct a technological demonstrator that will serve as a foundation for future industrial-scale devices. This meticulous approach will evaluate and consolidate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and develop scalable models, ensuring a robust and successful outcome.
This innovative electrochemical water dissociation process, producing only O₂ as a byproduct, offers a promising pathway for sustainable, carbon-free hydrogen production with low energy costs and high efficiency.
This 2-year project will be a joint effort by the Microwave Division (DIMAS) of the ITACA Institute at UPV, the Energy Conversion and Storage group at the Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIC-ITQ), and the engineering and technology group Sener.
