Our PhD student Jussara Barale presented her research activities on the characterisation of the HyCARE’s alloy at the EFC21 conference. Her presentation was entitled “Industrial production and characterization of TiFe0.85Mn0.05 alloy for a large -scale hydrogen storage plant” and was part of the session on Hydrogen Storage.

More details on her research will be published in the conference proceedings.

The HyCARE Consortium met at Hereon in Germany on December 13 and 14, 2021. The meeting has been crucial to align on the development activities of the HyCare system, which is currently under assembly at Stühff GmbH in Geestacht, Germany.

The coming year will be the final one for the HyCARE project. The system prototype will be finalized and it will be transferred to Engie Lab Criegen for testing and validation. The Hycare tank is expected to store up to 40 kg of hydrogen via metal hydrides. The main innovation is the use of Phase Changing Materials to activate the hydrogen absorption and desorption at high efficiency and low pressure (30 bars).

More information will be published in the 3rd Project Newsletter that will be released by the end of the year.

The HyCARE project has been presented at the FCH JU Programme Review Days 2021, the final events of the European Hydrogen Week. The project coordinator Marcello Baricco presented the latest achievements of the project and explained the novelty of combining Phase Changing Materials (PCM) and metal hydrides for low-pressure hydrogen storage.

The HyCARE system is currently under assembly at Stühff (Germany). During the second half of the project, the system will be completed and shipped to Engie Labs in Paris. It will be operated for over a six-months period to test and validate the system.

On December 2 at 4 pm, our coordinator Marcello Baricco will present the progress of the HyCARE project in the Panel Session on “H2 Distribution and Storage/Carriers” at the FCH JU Programme Review Days.

This two-days event will kick-close the EU Hydrogen week and, following the tradition of the past 11 years, will provide an excellent visibility platform for more than 60 projects currently on-going under FCH JU.

More than 53 selected projects and initiatives will have the opportunity to present their progress, obtain feedback, exchange ideas and best practices on the latest technological developments in the sector. Throughout the entire event we will also make available for download scientific posters for all FCH JU funded projects.

Join us on 2 and 3 December to hear Europe’s leading hydrogen projects and discover updates about the technology!
