As part of the Power2Hype project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) is driving the development of a sustainable and innovative approach to pair the cathodic and anodic production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
The Power2Hype project represents a significant breakthrough in the sustainable production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Through an innovative electrochemical process, Power2Hype uses renewable energy sources, air, and water for producing H2O2, thereby drastically reducing the reliance on fossil fuels traditionally used in H2O2 production.
Solvay, in collaboration with its eleven consortium partners, proudly takes part in the Power2Hype project. This innovative initiative aims to revolutionise hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production by demonstrating a pilot unit capable of achieving a carbon-neutral footprint, significantly enhancing the environmental benefits of this essential chemical. After a year and a half of rigorous development, the project has now advanced to a critical phase with the design and construction of the pilot plant stack in work package 5 (WP5) underway.
