Redeem becomes a member of the SAHARA Project!
In 2024, a project idea was born: SAHARA (Solar-Activated Hydrogen production – Advanced Research and Application) aims to develop more sustainable and innovative solutions for the production of hydrogen from water using solar energy - in line with the European Hydrogen Strategy Green deal.
In collaboration with Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS), Hycenta Research, CETIM Technological Centre, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), and The Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS), Redeem is developing photoelectrochemical Cells (PEC) for efficient hydrogen production.
Redeem brings the know-how in photo and flow reactor design to be harnessed for the cell and module design development
Redeem role in the SAHARA project is the:
· Identification of close inter-connections of material, manufacturing techniques and design
· Evaluation and optimization of PEC designs through the use of creative techniques and simulation assisted methods followed by manufacturing of the cell
· Integration of PEC module in overall system
At SAHARA, we are pushing the boundaries of photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology to unlock a cleaner, more sustainable future for green hydrogen production. Our goal is to elevate PEC technology to new levels of efficiency, scalability, and economic viability—transforming solar energy directly into high-purity hydrogen through an innovative floating reactor cell.
While electrolysis remains the dominant method for hydrogen production, PEC water splitting presents a game-changing alternative—a standalone, decentralized system with potentially higher solar-to-hydrogen efficiency than PV + electrolysis. However, key challenges must be addressed.
