Production, storage and distribution of hydrogen from renewable energy sources

In our center we are dedicated to the development of technologies related to hydrogen (H2) as an energy vector. Our goal is to promote the transition towards a more sustainable and carbon-free economy through hydrogen production, storage and distribution technologies, as well as the application of fuel cells in residential microgeneration.
Our efforts are focused on finding innovative and efficient solutions for hydrogen production. We work on the development of technologies that allow us to generate hydrogen from renewable sources, such as solar or wind energy. These technologies allow us to take advantage of natural resources in a clean and sustainable way, helping to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition, we focus on hydrogen storage and distribution. We develop safe and efficient solutions for the long-term storage and transportation of hydrogen, ensuring its availability and accessibility in different sectors of the economy.
Another key aspect of our development is the application of fuel cells in residential microgeneration. These fuel cells convert hydrogen directly into electricity, allowing energy to be generated efficiently and environmentally friendly in residential environments. This technology offers a clean and quiet alternative to conventional generators, providing a reliable and sustainable energy source for homes and communities.

PROBLEMS IT SOLVES

Our work addresses various issues related to the integration of hydrogen as an energy vector. We work on the hybridization of technologies and the development of solutions that integrate hydrogen generation with renewable sources at different scales. This involves overcoming technical and economic challenges to achieve efficient and cost-effective hydrogen production from renewable sources, promoting the transition to a sustainable and carbon-free economy.
Our work contributes to the integration of hydrogen as a key vector in the transition to decarbonization of the global energy model. Hydrogen offers great potential to replace fossil fuels in various sectors, such as transportation and industry. Our technological and research solutions help overcome the technical and economic challenges associated with this transition, facilitating the adoption and effective use of hydrogen as a sustainable and competitive energy source.
In addition, we face the challenge of heat and cooling network management, where we seek to improve the operation of generation, distribution and consumption elements. This includes exploring the potential for industrial waste heat recovery, thus optimizing energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of industrial processes.
Our solutions also focus on optimizing the communication and operation of renewable generation plants, identifying and characterizing defects in the power grid to ensure a stable and reliable supply. This is especially relevant for the safe and efficient operation of hydrogen generation plants and other industrial facilities.
