Project description<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The project aims to develop a technology linked to the green hydrogen economy, including generation and the two types of use, energy and chemical.<\/p>\n

It is part of the Hydrogen Valley of Catalonia, a strategic national initiative working to consolidate an integrated ecosystem around the hydrogen value chain. The Rovira i Virgili University (URV), the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) and the EURECAT Technology Centre make up the knowledge, science and technology alliance that forms the research and innovation core of the Hydrogen Valley of Catalonia, an initiative in which the Port of Tarragona participates.<\/p>\n

The project focuses on the production, use and distribution of hydrogen. Hydrogen is an energy source that must be manufactured, and this is done through a process called water electrolysis. This process is carried out using electrolysers powered by renewable energy and water. Once produced, hydrogen can be given two types of use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Energy use: as a fuel for all types of transport.<\/li>\n
  • Chemical use: as an element in chemical reactions to obtain fuels, formic acids\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Project objectives<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The use of hydrogen, produced from renewable energy and water, is expected to become widespread as a raw material and heat source in industries such as chemicals, for mobility, for residential uses and as a fuel. That is why the objective of this project is to have its own demonstration and characterisation units to advance along this line.<\/p>\n

    Expected benefits of the innovation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The expected benefits of the project are the implementation of pilot-scale technologies and the preparation of pre-industrial prototypes for their subsequent industrialisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
