Leitat is pleased to present a new video interview featuring Marcel Boerrigter, Scientific Lead and coordinator of the GH2 project. In this exclusive conversation, Boerrigter delves into the project’s main objectives, the technological hurdles it faces, and the progress made so far in the field of green hydrogen production.
Driving Innovation in Solar Hydrogen
The GH2 project is pioneering the development of a solar-powered system capable of producing cost-competitive green hydrogen alongside acetic acid. This dual-production approach seeks to maximise efficiency and sustainability by integrating renewable energy with chemical manufacturing.
According to Boerrigter, the team’s work combines advanced photochemical and catalytic processes to make hydrogen generation more affordable and scalable. “Our aim is to move from lab-scale demonstrations to pilot-scale production within three to five years,” he explains.
A European Effort Towards Decarbonisation
Funded by Horizon 2020 and Innovate UK, GH2 represents a collaborative effort between industry partners, research centres, and European institutions. The project’s outcomes will directly contribute to the EU Green Deal and its decarbonisation targets, fostering innovation across the energy and chemical sectors.
“The GH2 project demonstrates how cross-border collaboration and scientific excellence can accelerate Europe’s transition to sustainable energy,” highlights Boerrigter.
