The HySTrAm project will develop innovative solutions to produce ‘green ammonia’ from hydrogen at lower pressure, thereby making the process more efficient. These solutions will also aim to solve the energy challenges that Europe is facing today. In addition, this will strengthen the Europe’s technological leadership, and create economic growth and jobs across the full European value chain.
The HySTrAm project will allow to store “green ammonia” from hydrogen at lower pressure and to transport it in much safer conditions, enabling a more decentralized process. Moreover, the use of porous materials and pressure cylinders is expected to create a buffering facility of hydrogen which facilitates the stable operation of the reactor, facilitating a more effcient coupling with renewables for hydrogen production.
The innovative results will have technological, economical and societal benefits:
• Resilient, sustainable and secure (critical) raw materials value chains for EU industrial ecosystems, in support of the twin green and digital transformations;
• New sustainable-by-design materials with enhanced functionalities and applications in a wide range of industrial processes and consumer products;
• Leadership in producing materials that provide solutions for clean, toxic/pollutant free environment, decarbonizing industry, and safeguarding civil infrastructures;
• Leadership in circular economy that strengthens cross-sectorial cooperation along the value chain and enable SMEs to transform their activities and business models; and
• Increased adoption of key digital and enabling technologies in industrial value chains and strategic sectors, paying particular attention to SMEs and start-ups.
