Project description
Tackling green energy storage with innovative yet cheaper hydrogen storage solutions
Electrification is a priority for Europeans because of its potential to cut CO2 emissions, but storing green energy is not simple. Recognising that hydrogen produced from electrolysers is the most suitable green energy carrier, the EU-funded AMBHER project is addressing the long- and short-term green hydrogen storage issue. First, it will develop advanced materials (catalyst and membranes) for the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) in a cost-efficient and resource-effective process via a membrane reactor. Then it will focus on the economic, societal and technological concerns that come with seasonal renewable energy storage in the form of green ammonia. Finally, it will develop new nanoporous metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and a cryo-vessel that can hold stacks of MOF bodies for short-term hydrogen storage.
Objective
AMBHER (Ammonia and MOF based Hydrogen for Europe) is a European project providing a holistic approach to tackle the short and long term energy storage challenges raised by the high degree of electrification our society is aiming for. Firstly, AMBHER is addressing the main societal, economic and technological questions coming together with the use of green ammonia as seasonal renewable energy storage. Simultaneously, AMBHER is developing and demonstrating innovative and cheaper compressed hydrogen storage potentially solving the gap toward local and economically relevant power-to-hydrogen hub. AMBHER will thus increase the number of applications in the energy and transport sectors and the possibilities for success and industrial adoption by key players. For short-term hydrogen storage, novel nanoporous MOFs (Metal Organic Frameworks) of high surface area (>2.500 m2/g) and low cost synthesis will be developed following an original shaping process (3D printing). Furthermore, AMBHER will develop a conformable cryo-vessel that can accommodate stacks of MOF bodies of tailored-made shape. A capacity of 40g/L of usable space at 100 bar is achieved at competitive cost with respect to current high pressure cylinders (600-1.000 euros/kg H2). For long-term storage, advanced materials (both catalysts and membranes) and their combination in an intensified 3D-printed intensified periodic open cell structured reactor will be developed to allow hydrogen storage in the form of ammonia (NH3) in a cost-efficient and resource-effective process at lower temperatures and pressures compared to conventional systems. AMBHER project is validating both short-term and long term solutions at TRL 5 addressing the positioning of the solutions developed in relevant business cases. The project is built around 16 industry and academic leaders in Europe, from 7 different countries. Track record of AMBHER partners proves the synergies and fruitful collaborative nature among all members.
