STORMING recently joined forces with its sister projects ColdSpark® and TITAN for a collaborative webinar showcasing how methane cracking technologies can contribute to Europe’s clean hydrogen future and critical raw materials strategy.
Held under the Horizon Europe framework, the session brought together leading researchers and industry stakeholders to discuss how low-carbon hydrogen production and valuable carbon byproducts—like carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—can play a role in decarbonising industry and strengthening the EU’s resource resilience.
Dr. Patricia Benito Martin, STORMING Project Coordinator from the University of Bologna, presented the project’s approach to simultaneously producing hydrogen and CNTs using electrified structured reactors. This unique dual-output process not only reduces emissions but also opens new opportunities in strategic value chains such as batteries and electronics.
Anton Scholten from Cleancarb, one of STORMING’s industrial partners, joined the expert panel discussion. He shared market perspectives on the demand for solid carbon materials and how innovations like STORMING’s can align with industry sustainability goals.
Together with ColdSpark® and TITAN, STORMING helped explore how methane splitting technologies support the:
- Production of low-carbon hydrogen,
- Use of solid carbon in key EU industries,
- Implementation of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act, and
- Development of future industrial use cases.
We extend our thanks to all partners involved and a special congratulations to ColdSpark® for organising this impactful event.
