For decades, fluorinated compounds have been used in a variety of products, ubiquitous in our daily lives. However, their extreme resistance to degradation poses risks to human health and the environment. The European Commission has regulated these “forever chemicals” for years, and now scientists seek sustainable alternatives.
We’re launching our ANEMEL Webinar series to discuss green hydrogen production, seawater electrolysis, and sustainability. Save the date: our first session will take place on 21st February at 11.00am CET with a presentation by Pau Farràs, our project coordinator.
The European Commission “hop-on” facility promotes partnerships between ongoing projects and research institutions from Widening Countries. This programme enabled a new partnership with the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia, which joined the ANEMEL consortium to expand the expertise in the design of catalysts with abundant elements.
Get a great overview of the different types of electrolysers – the devices used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Some are closer to market than others; ANEMEL in particular is exploring anion exchange technologies to reduce the reliance on scarce materials and make green hydrogen cheaper.
Green, blue, grey – even purple! Although hydrogen is a colourless gas, it seems otherwise, given the numerous names adopted by industry and policymakers to define the different manufacturing methods. Don’t panic – here’s the ultimate guide to understanding the colours of hydrogen. ANEMEL clarifies concepts in hydrogen production, carbon capture, nuclear energy, and more.
“Hydrogen Horizons” is a new in-person workshop focused on research, innovation, and policymaking in the field of renewable hydrogen. The event will take place in Tarragona, Spain, on October 4th and 5th, 2023.
ANEMEL co-organised an in-person event in Brussels on the sustainable sourcing of seawater. The workshop gathered multidisciplinary experts from academia, industry, and policymaking to discuss topics beyond green hydrogen generation, including desalination, energy generation, energy storage, and resource mining, among others. Almost 100 experts attended, showcasing the great interest among the community on reducing the environmental impact of water utilisation.
Green hydrogen could replace fossil fuels in our transition to net-zero. But, what makes hydrogen green – and, most importantly, what are the current challenges in research and innovation towards technology transfer? ANEMEL answers these questions, and provides new tools to manufacture green hydrogen from low-grade water sources, tackling issues such as the scarcity of raw materials.
ANEMEL is co-organising an in-person workshop to discuss the importance of sustainable sourcing of water in the generation of green hydrogen, as well as the production of clean chemicals, renewable fuels, minerals, and more. The event will take place at the premises of DG RTD in Brussels, on 8 and 9 June 2023.
The ANEMEL project has received €2.96 million from the European Innovation Council, Europe’s flagship programme to develop and scale-up breakthrough technologies.
