Description du projet
Réseau européen de formation aux catalyseurs avancés pour une production d’hydrogène plus efficace
Combiner deux métaux pour régler les performances d’un catalyseur est une méthode efficace; ses propriétés pouvant être supérieures à celles de l’un ou l’autre de ses éléments constitutifs. Financé par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet BIKE proposera une méthode globale de développement de catalyseurs bimétalliques de nouvelle génération destinés à la production d’hydrogène vert ou bleu. BIKE dispensera à 14 chercheurs en début de carrière une formation internationale et interdisciplinaire dans le domaine, couvrant tout le spectre du développement des catalyseurs. Elle comprendra la synthèse et la caractérisation des catalyseurs, la modélisation, les applications industrielles et les activités de commercialisation.
Objectif
BIKE (BImetallic catalysts Knowledge-based development for Energy applications) is a network for training of T-shaped young promising scientists (early stage researchers, ESRs), who will develop and apply, by an innovative “holistic” approach, the next generation of bimetallic catalysts for energy management, in particular for blue and green hydrogen production processes. BIKE next generation bimetallic catalysts will exhibit superior performance under realistic conditions thanks to the combination of state-of-the-art tools (predictive modelling, advanced characterization, knowledge based design and novel preparation of catalysts, and explorative testing) in a single methodology to fully exploit their added value in a synergistic way. The explosive growth of blue and green hydrogen production in recent years, due to its importance in environment and energy fields, has created a strong need of qualified personnel both in the private industry: a) manufacturing; b) R&D; c) management, and in the public sector i.e. (i) academia, (ii) research centres, including (iii) management. The goal of the BIKE ITN is to address this need by providing a team of 14 qualified ESRs with a comprehensive and application-oriented knowledge of the H2-field, able to span from preparation to characterization, modelling, industrial applications, and marketing of H2-related catalyst materials, and to interact with all the stakeholders working in the field. This goal is achieved by devising a cross sector, application-oriented, multi-disciplinary and synergic intense training plan at 12 European research centres leaders in the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) field, in academia and public research institutions (9) and industry (3), integrated with soft skills components, exchange meetings, workshops, schools, courses as appropriate to pursue the BIKE's goal. Industrial members will strongly contribute to cross sector training and validation in industrial environment of BIKE bimetallic catalysts.
