Hydrogen research for sustainable energy production receives 50 million
The Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF, has supported a hydrogen research centre led by KTH, and including researchers from Umeå University. It is one of four centres that receive SEK 50 million each in grants in the call for Agenda 2030 Research Centers, aimed at finding solutions to the UN Agenda 2030 goals. One of the goals is to develop polymer membranes for electrolysis based on new classes of alkaline membranes, to respond to rapid load changes which are an important feature when renewable energy is used to drive electrolysis. Another is to develop liquid organic hydrogen carriers as a complement to pressurized hydrogen gas and to develop fuel cells with acidic membrane electrolytes to function at higher temperatures.
