On the 16-17th of January, the PH2OTOGEN consortium gathered in the Toyota Motor Europe headquarters in Brussels to officially launch the PH2OTOGEN project.
A gathering of eight partners from five countries
Hannah Johnson of Toyota Motor Europe, who coordinates the PH2OTOGEN project, led the introduction, emphasizing the project's innovative approach and the collective expertise of the partners.
Each partner then outlined their roles, discussing the various work packages, and set the project's 42-month timeline.
The gathering was further enriched by the presence of the project and financial officers from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, representing the European Commission's support for this EU co-funded initiative. They provided guidelines and outlined their role throughout the project duration.
Developing scalable and sustainable solar hydrogen technology
PH2OTOGEN is aiming to develop a scalable photocatalytic flow reactor that produces green hydrogen, along with value-added oxidation products that can generate revenue to accelerate the availability of green hydrogen.
The consortium will use advanced techniques to identify promising and innovative combinations of semiconducting materials to achieve an average solar hydrogen efficiency of > 5% over 500 hours in a 500 cm2 demonstrator.
