ANEMEL has just turned three years old, and we have plenty to celebrate! It’s been a year full of activity as we approach the final stretch of this project and move closer to the clean hydrogen production from dirty waters, including seawater and other impure waters. Following the initial successes of previous years, which included designing catalytic systems, membranes, and cells, this third year has focused on refining and improving them, as well as advancing new designs and developments. Our goal is to make hydrogen production sustainable by reducing the use of critical raw materials, eliminating fluorinated “forever chemicals”, and ensuring long-term stability through studies such as life-cycle assessments.
The annual report also highlights our communication efforts and the collaborative activities within the Green Hydrogen portfolio of projects, all funded by the European Innovation Council to drive the commercialisation of clean hydrogen technologies. This includes our participation in the road mapping event on renewable hydrogen, fuels, and chemicals, co-organised by the EIC and the EU-funded initiative SUNERGY. The event took place in Brussels, Belgium, coinciding with our meeting with sister projects from the Portfolio.
