Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), and Sener, a leading energy company, have joined forces to develop a pilot plant for the generation of green hydrogen.

This innovative project is based on a disruptive technology pioneered by a team of researchers from the Institute of Applications of Information Technologies and Advanced Communications (ITACA, UPV) and the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ, CSIC-UPV). The technology leverages microwaves for hydrogen production, promising to revolutionize the energy industry and contribute significantly to decarbonization efforts.

After nearly a decade of collaborative research, the CSIC and UPV researchers have achieved a breakthrough in green hydrogen generation using microwaves. This cutting-edge technology is based on the microwave reduction of solid materials at remarkably low temperatures, making it more efficient and cost-effective compared to conventional methods. The groundbreaking results were published in the prestigious journal Nature Energy in 2020.

The technology’s unique feature is its ability to conduct electrochemical processes directly without the need for electrodes. This simplifies and streamlines the hydrogen generation process, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency. Additionally, the freedom in design and choice of operating conditions enables a more adaptable and cost-efficient approach to hydrogen production. The CSIC and UPV’s efforts in developing this technology have positioned them as international leaders in the green hydrogen space.

The signing of the agreement between CSIC, UPV, and Sener marks a significant milestone in advancing this groundbreaking technology towards commercial implementation. The pilot plant’s development will determine the costs of scaling up the technology for industrial applications, opening new doors for cleaner energy solutions.

The potential of microwave technology for green hydrogen generation holds promise for the decarbonization of the energy industry. It presents a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional hydrogen production methods, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The partnership between academia, research institutions, and industry exemplifies the commitment to innovation and scientific research in advancing sustainable energy solutions. The microwave technology for green hydrogen represents a crucial step in realizing a greener and more sustainable future.

As the world shifts towards cleaner energy sources, breakthroughs like this underscore the transformative impact of science and technology in shaping a sustainable energy landscape. The pioneering efforts of CSIC, UPV, and Sener are leading the way towards a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future through the power of green hydrogen.
