Gdańsk University of Technology – Polish scientists will produce cheap “green hydrogen”

By Marek Grzybowski

Polish scientists will conduct research on how to produce cheap “green hydrogen”? Dr. Mariusz Skóra from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Gdańsk University of Technology and Dr. hab. Anna Ilnicka from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń will conduct research.

Their goal is to develop an innovative method of synthesizing stable catalysts based on nitrides. The project is financed by the Polish government. The subsidy amounts to about PLN 2 million. The funds come from the OPUS program, which is financed by the National Science Center.

Polish scientists are also conducting a project on the commercial use of hydrogen. The Integrated Hydrogen-Argon Power Cycle (iHAPC) consortium, led by the University of Vaasa, aims to revolutionize the energy sector by demonstrating a sustainable hydrogen-argon power cycle (H-APC) on a pilot scale. This concept aims to achieve unprecedented energy efficiency with zero net emissions – explain the authors of the project.

The project consortium consists of research organizations and industrial companies. The three-year iHAPC project (2025-2027) has been awarded a budget of EUR 8.55 million. The project is mainly financed by Business Finland, with the remaining funds coming from the companies and research institutes involved in the research. It is emphasized that “Together with the partners, the project will strengthen the global presence of Finnish technologies in the field of sustainable energy production”.

– The University of Vaasa plays a key role in promoting innovative energy solutions with a strong focus on sustainability. With our experience in fuel analysis, modeling and simulation, drive system testing and control development, we are well-prepared and excited to lead this project – informs Professor Maciej Mikulski from the University of Vaasa on the News Hub portal.
