Project Abstract
The waste-to-energy conversion embraced in the circular economy concept is identified as a revolutionary environmental conservation process. Converting waste materials (e.g. biomass) for renewable applications along with the production of hydrogen fuel is an ideal model for promoting circular economy. Hybrid electrolysis is an attractive process to produce highly pure hydrogen and valorise low-value organic waste products while expanding the use of renewables. Yet, the materials needed to enable these reactions are currently based on very expensive and scarce metals like platinum. The Nano2H2 project aims to develop low-cost materials to allow commercial hydrogen production from renewable sources.
