Abstract
112CO2 focuses on productions of H2 from COx-free, low temperature, catalytic decomposition of methane. The PROCEED project focuses on the complementary aspect of producing green methane as a hydrogen carrier beyond the limitations of present technologies. In particular, we aim to learn how the catalyst, supposed to be supported/nickel-based, interacts with carbon and hydrogen to produce methane using advanced atomistic simulations beyond the state-of-the-art techniques used in the literature. We expect that the results of this low TRL project will spring extensive and higher TRL research to develop an innovative technology to make it possible to extensively use carbon as a green hydrogen carrier. An analysis of recent projects based on standard technologies reveals that carbon can serve as a green hydrogen carrier worth ~5 million tons of hydrogen a year within 2045, corresponding, e.g., to more than 10% the primary energy demand of Germany.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
