The H2POSSE project is dedicated to advancing hydrogen production and storage technologies, with a particular focus on applications within the transportation sector. Additionally, the project seeks to foster the development of the regional hydrogen ecosystem in Central Finland.
Project Overview
The H2POSSE project focuses on three main areas.
- Hydrogen Production with Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolyser (AEMEL)
We are developing an in-house designed AEMEL tailored for hydrogen refuelling stations. This includes design, construction, commissioning, operational testing, and hydrogen quality monitoring to optimize performance and enhance skills in hydrogen production system design. - Advanced Hydrogen Storage Materials and Testing
Our research is centered on developing cost-effective, high-performance solid adsorbent materials such as metal and MOF-doped activated carbon and biopolymer-based adsorbents. We are also exploring 3D-printable storage units, combining experimental and computational chemistry methods to optimize hydrogen storage capacity and durability. The project utilizes two experimental setups, including a laboratory-scale storage capacity testing device and a new vessel-type storage prototype, to evaluate storage performance of solid materials under realistic conditions and enable integration with hydrogen production systems for dynamic interaction studies - Ecosystem Development and Networking
H2POSSE actively promotes stakeholder networking through events and participates in regional and national hydrogen initiatives. We aim to establish a local R&D core group to support collaboration and knowledge exchange among companies, municipalities, and research institutions. The project explores new regional and national R&D opportunities related to hydrogen technologies, identifies EU funding possibilities, and supports the initiation of projects aligned with the regional hydrogen economy goals.
