Power2Hype is a Horizon Europe funded project, composed by a consortium of 11 partners with knowledge and expertise revolving around the electro-chemical sector and that cover different links of the H2O2 value chain. The consortium is made of solid, experienced and leading industrial organizations, renowned universities, research institutes and technology developers as well a communication agency.
On September 5th, 2023, Power2Hype partner Sotirios Mavrikis from Wageningen Food and Biobased Research (WFBR) presented his research on paired electrolysis at the 74th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE).
On 29th to 31st of October 2023, Power2Hype participated in the 2023 edition of Planetiers World Gathering, the biggest international event for sustainable innovation in Portugal, this year in the beautiful city of Aveiro.
With more than 20,000 water specialists and more than 800 exhibitors, Aquatech reaffirms its status as the world's foremost platform for wastewater, drinking, and process industries. The 2023 edition happened in November in Amsterdam and counted with Power2Hype’s participation.
The vision of Power2Hype (P2H) is to establish a novel technology for producing hydrogen peroxide on industrial scale using a tandem electrolysis concept (electrochemical conversion to the desired product on both electrodes).
Power2Hype aims to use energy cost-effectively by utilizing electrons twice for the production of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide production is thus targeted at the cathode as well as the anode in a so-called paired 200% electrolyzer. WP3 deals with developing and efficiently coupling anodic and cathodic reactions to achieve an optimal convergent paired electrolysis for H2O2 production. Main partners contributing to this Work Package are Fraunhofer IGB (FH-IGB), Wageningen Food and Bio-based Research (WR) and Solvay
In Power2Hype, our goal is to replace the energy- and resource-intensive anthraquinone process for hydrogen peroxide production with an environmentally friendly electrolysis process. This innovative approach requires only water, air and green electricity to produce this chemical. The key lies in a new tandem electrolysis, which maximizes electricity usage, along with an innovative electrolyser and concentrator technology.
In Power2Hype we aim to establish a sustainable route for the hydrogen peroxide production. Based on air and water as feedstocks, and renewable energy as the sole energy source, the Power2Hype route addresses an economically viable and green alternative to the classical energy-demanding anthraquinone process
