REMEDHYS

REMEDHYS (Recycled Metals for Aboveground Hydrogen Storage) focuses on solid-state hydrogen storage using metal hydrides (MHs). This technology chemically binds hydrogen to metals, enabling storage of hydrogen at low pressure (<50 bar) and ambient temperature, ensuring enhanced safety while minimizing infrastructure requirements. By using recycled metals sourced within Europe, REMEDHYS also supports the EU’s push for circular economy practices and reduced reliance on imported raw materials. Compared to traditional compressed or liquefied hydrogen storage, the MH approach offers significant advantages: • Enhanced safety by reducing risks of sudden hydrogen release. • Improved efficiency through integration with waste heat sources. • Smaller footprint with reduced safety distances and infrastructure requirements. The use of recycled starting materials for the production of the hydrogen storing alloys is expected to significantly reduce the investments costs of hydrogen storage units based on MHs, making them competitive with compressed and liquid hydrogen storage technologies. REMEDHYS Project has received funding from the European Union Horizon Europe Research and Innovation program under grant agreement No. 101192503. The project is supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and its members.
