What is the energy for the future?

Hydrogen as a solution to the challenge of renewable energy storage

In the FRIDA online magazine, Prof. Marcello Baricco explains how the HyCARE project contributes in building the future of energy. By converting renewable energy into hydrogen, the HyCARE’s hydrogen storage tank will overcome the limit of intermittent energy supply featuring renewable sources. This will allow us to use renewables at any time.

HyCARE goes to University Autonoma de Madrid

Our researcher Fermìn Cuevas from the Institut de Chimie et des Matériaux Paris (CNRS) hold a webinar to the Master Students of the University Autonoma de Madrid concerning his research activities in the the HyCARE project.

The webinar focuses on the recent paper “Development of TiFe intermetallics for large-scale stationary hydrogen storage in the framework of the European project HyCARE”, by F. Cuevas, E.-M. Dematteis, M. Latroche.

Covid-19 doesn’t stop HyCARE!

The lockdown forces our researchers at home but their passion for chemistry and energy keeps flowing.

The initiative #unitohomecommunity by #FridA goes to our researchers’ homes asking about their activities and projects.

Why is it important but difficult to store renewable energy?

How to store renewable energy to use it when necessary?

What is the role of hydrogen in storing renewable energy?

Why HyCARE is a promising solutions for storing hydrogen and renewable energy?

Our project coordinator Marcello Baricco answers to these questions from his balcony in Turin.

RSC Twitter Poster Conference

HyCARE goes on Radio24

Why is HyCARE a key project for building the Hydrogen Economy in Europe? Why is large-scale hydrogen storage important? What are the benefits and challenges of storing hydrogen with metal hydrides? These are just a few of the questions answered by Prof. Marcello Baricco, project coordinator of Hycare, during the interview at Radio24.

Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)

Towards large-scale hydrogen storage in TiFe intermetallic compounds: state of art and outlook
Talk at the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) Castelldefels, Barcellona, Spain

Erika Dematteis, post-doc at CNRS, presents TiFe alloys as low-cost and efficient intermetallic compounds for hydrogen storage. She discusses TiFe characteristics and the results of partial substitution of Fe by Mn.
