YouTube video by ASTERISK EU ASTERISK: transforming seawater into green hydrogen

We’re not going to lie:

this is a HUGE challenge, but we have the previous experience of our EIC-funded project ANEMEL, and we count on the help and financial support of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the EU 👥💞🇪🇺

In recent years, scientists and experts have worked hard to develop hydrogen as a clean energy source to help reduce our dependence on polluting resources 👩🔬

In our case, at ASTERISK EU, our goal is to design an electrolyser that can produce energy using seawater as a feedstock 🔋⚡

Do you know why we celebrate #HydrogenDay on October 8th? The reason is quite interesting! 🧐

It turns out that the atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.008 u, making 10/8 the perfect day to discuss the future of hydrogen🗨️

Today, we celebrate #HydrogenDay🥳, which highlights the importance of this chemical element for the energy transition⚡🌊

ASTERISK attends the Hydrogen Week: a key event for advancing knowledge and innovation in clean energy – Asterisk Getting started is never easy — especially in a European project like ASTERISK.However, our partners are bringing remarkable energy and enthusiasm to the table, and it’s something worth sharing!

Good morning from Brussels!☀️☕

These days we are learning from experts at the EHW and drawing inspiration from other green hydrogen initiatives🧐

Read our review in the new blogpost, and if you're in the area, come say hello! We promise to be nice😊

YouTube video by ASTERISK EU ASTERISK: transforming seawater into green hydrogen

Back in April, we met for the first time in Galway, Ireland🫂

During that meeting, we took the opportunity to film our colleagues and capture their enthusiasm for the project📹

The result is this video 👉

However, we are committed to achieving this, as it will enable remote communities, such as those on islands, to produce their own energy in future. 🏝️⚡

8/9 🧵

Using seawater for electrolysis is a technological challenge, as it contains microplastics, microorganisms and other particles that must be removed. 🦠❌ Also, salinity can corrode our expensive technological devices!

7/9 🧵

This is where ASTERISK wants to make a difference. 🙌 Instead of using fresh water, we will produce green hydrogen directly from seawater. 🌊 To this end, we will collect samples from three different locations in the Mediterranean Sea.

6/9 🧵

Nowadays, this process usually involves the use of fresh water. 🫗 However, this poses a problem as fresh water is a scarce resource required for human consumption, agriculture and livestock farming. 👩🌾🐮🛀

5/9 🧵

The answer lies in water. 💧 Water is not only a key element for life on earth, but also a source of energy. 🌎⚡ Through a process called electrolysis, an electric current splits water into its most basic components, hydrogen and oxygen.

4/9 🧵

Moreover, the energy used to produce it comes from renewable sources, such as wind and solar power. 🌬️☀️Indeed... That's why we call it green hydrogen! 💡But, where do we get hydrogen from? 🤷

3/9 🧵

As you may know, green hydrogen is seen as a key element to decarbonise our economy. 🏭♻️ The reason is simple: unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen does not release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when it is burned. 🔥
