CEPEA research group news

The SCALE consortium, headed by DIFFER, kicked off on Thursday 16 September 2021. DIFFER, together with the TU/e and a number of other parties will investigate a new sustainable approach to generate hydrogen. NWO has awarded SCALE 1.25 M€ of funding to prepare the ground for the next generation of water electrolyzers.

ORACLE is a new global collaboration to examine new ways of producing green ammonia. The project has received EUR 2,8 million from the EU framework program for research and innovation, Horizon 2020. DIFFER is one of the partners of the project, headed by Aarhus University in Denmark. The program will run for three years, the kick-off was on 25 May 2021.

KEROGREEN is a collaborative European project on producing green kerosene. Goal of the project is to build a container sized production unit. KEROGREEN has been running for 30 months now. The project published an overview on what has been achieved so far. DIFFER developed a 6 KW lab-reactor and is working on a container-sized plasmolysis module.

Green hydrogen as a means of storing electrical energy is the future. The new SCALE consortium headed by DIFFER will investigate a new approach to generate hydrogen. DIFFER, together with the TU/e and a number of other parties was recently awarded 1.25 M€ of funding by NWO for this new project to prepare the ground for the next generation of so-called AEM water electrolysers.

“It’s like watching atoms wrestle for oxygen.” DIFFER-researcher Vasileios Kyriakou describes the formation process of nanoparticles, seen in real-time with an advanced electron microscope. An international team of researchers observed the controlled formation of nanoparticles in inorganic perovskite materials. The result is published in ACS Nano and was highlighted by Science.
