The objective of this theme is to develop and implement low-carbon hydrogen production processes (electrochemical, photochemical, thermochemical and biochemical processes, in addition to methane pyrolysis and combined reforming processes), as well as to establish materials and processes for high-capacity, reliable-availability H2 storage, including liquid hydrogen carriers, chemical and solid-state storage, by a combined modeling-experimental approach. Techno-economic and life cycle assessment will be performed to move forward the most promising materials and processes. RICH activities cover the whole value chain of hydrogen in themes 3, 4 and 5.
