Hydrogen Production and Storage as an Enabler of Industrial Renewal in Central Finland -HyPER
Table of contents
Project description
HyPER is a consortium project coordinated by VTT. HyPER project is dedicated to establishing a hydrogen production and storage testing rig in Central Finland.
The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ sub-project will develop materials suitable for hydrogen storage, contributing to the goal of safe and cost-effective hydrogen storage. Hydrogen can be stored by binding it to solids. The solids or adsorbents considered in HyPER are either biocarbon-based, metal-organic (MOF) or zeolites. The project will primarily focus on activated carbon, MOF adsorbents and their hybrid materials. In addition, potential biochar feedstock sources suitable for activated carbon production available in the province will be explored. Various biomasses and industrial by-products will be of interest. The project will make use of the equipment from the BitKein project and the results of the project's biomass mapping. The characterisation of the adsorbents will use analytical techniques available at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, such as diffraction, thermochemical and spectroscopic methods.
The HyPER project will emphasise the safe production, handling and storage of hydrogen at all stages of the project. The project aims to establish the use of biomass in hydrogen storage applications, pave the way for a green transition towards cleaner energy production and use, provide tools for the development of the hydrogen value chain and new business opportunities in the business environment. The project will provide information on hydrogen storage processes.
