SubsidieMeestersFIRST SMALL-SCALE DEPLOYMENT (FSD) OF A PRE-COMMERCIAL PLANT BASED ON PHOTOELECTROCATALYTIC TECHNOLOGY FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
The SUN2HY project aims to demonstrate the world's first pre-commercial Photoelectrocatalysis plant for sustainable hydrogen production, targeting 201 tH2/year to support local mobility and reduce CO2 emissions.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The SUN2HY strategic joint initiative promoted by REPSOL and ENAGAS as Associated Partners and led by SUN2HY company framed in this call, is part of an exhaustive roadmap born to give response to the hydrogen demand of the next decades.
Project Overview
This initiative is focused on demonstrating the cost-effectiveness and robustness of a ground-breaking concept: Photoelectrocatalysis (PEC). The novelty behind the PEC lies in the capacity to directly convert solar energy to chemical energy by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, thanks to the use of solar energy without external energy input. This provides a sustainable alternative route for renewable hydrogen.
Investment and Development
The strong investments dedicated by both companies until now have allowed generating highly promising results in the industrialization of the technology. The existing prototypes have been built with affordable materials that were optimized in an integrated system based on a modular design.
They have been exhaustively tested in a pilot plant, reaching a TRL 6 before the development of this project. The commitment of REPSOL and ENAGAS has resulted in the constitution of a new company, SUN2HY, which is in charge of implementing the initiative and commercializing this technology in the future.
Consortium Leadership
SUN2HY is leading the consortium to orient the results reached in this project towards the needs of potential buyers and investors. The identified business opportunity of the co-developed innovative technology lies in a combination of efficiency, stability, and cost, allowing its competitive industrial commercialization.
Project Aim
The aim of the present project is to demonstrate the first PEC pre-commercial plant in the world with a production capacity of 201 tH2/year. This will ensure the supply of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations in the surroundings of Puertollano Industrial Complex (Spain) for the mobility sector, including:
- Freight buses
- Trucks
- Light vehicles
Environmental Impact
During 10 years of operation, a total amount of 23,209.10 tonCO2eq. will be avoided.
