Project Summary:
The EU-funded project MOST-H2 unites 16 partners from Greece, Germany, Spain, the UK, Austria, France, Italy and Morocco. They work on an integrated multiscale, lab-to-tank approach to develop, validate and demonstrate innovative, low cost, cryo-adsorptive hydrogen storage systems. The main focus is on developing monolithic Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) adsorbents with an optimal combination of volumetric and gravimetric H2 storage capacity. The targeted materials can store hydrogen efficiently, will be easy and safe to transport, and have a small environmental footprint. The outcomes will contribute to establishing hydrogen as widespread energy carrier – a key priority for the EU in becoming climate-neutral.
Main activities and outcomes
- The combination of advanced synthetic and computational strategies in a cyclic materials development approach
To develop new high-performance, MOF adsorbents which are sustainable-by-design.
- The development of novel monolithic Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) adsorbents with an optimal combination of volumetric and gravimetric H2 sorption capacity To efficiently store hydrogen.
- The upscaling of monolithic forms of optimal MOFs To be integrated into a newly designed cryo-adsorption storage tank and tested under realistic conditions.
The outcomes of MOST-H2, coupled with full life cycle analysis and techno-economic assessment of the technology, will form the basis for elaborating future market penetration plans. The consortium has a clear view to implement the project results in selected rail and road applications.
