THE PROJECT
STructured unconventional reactors for CO2 -fRee
Methane catalytic crackING
STORMING will develop breakthrough and innovative structured reactors heated using renewable electricity, to convert fossil and renewable CH4 into CO2-free H2 and highly valuable carbon nanomaterials for battery applications.
-
Smart rational catalyst design protocol
Combining theoretical (density functional theory and molecular dynamics calculations) and experimental (cluster) studies to develop innovative Fe-based catalysts, highly active and easily regenerable by waste-free processes.
-
Electrification (microwave or joule-heated) of structured reactors
Designed by computational fluid dynamics and prepared by 3D printing, will enable an accurate thermal control resulting in high energy efficiency.
-
Validation of the most promising catalytic technology
At TRL5, the project will validate the chosen most promising catalytic technology to produce H2 with energy efficiency (> 60%), net-zero emissions, and decreasing (ca. 10 %) the costs in comparison with the conventional process.
-
Dissemination and communication of results
Not only to communicate the results of the project, C&D activities should also work to boost social acceptance of H2-related technologies and the stakeholder engagement targeting short-term process exploitation and deployment
-
Highly complementary and interdisciplinary consortium
Its consortium, where basic and applied science merge with engineering, computer, and social sciences is the key to reach STORMING challenging objectives.
