Sister projects
The SWEETHY project will cluster its activities and collaborate with other projects that are similar or funded under the same call. The aim of this clustering is to align communication and dissemination efforts among the projects.
ASTERISK
ASTERISK will address one of humanity’s greatest challenges: the energy transition to combat climate change. This project, co-funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the European Union, focuses on the production of green hydrogen directly from seawater. ASTERISK aims to develop an electrolyser that splits water to produce hydrogen using renewable energy from sources like solar or wind. The system will avoid toxic compounds such as PFAS and use abundant minerals like iron, copper, and nickel. It will operate in high salinity conditions, making it suitable for remote locations and conserving fresh water.
HySEas
HySEas is a three-year EU-funded project that brings together partners from 6 countries to develop a new, sustainable method to produce green hydrogen directly from seawater. Unlike traditional approaches that can damage equipment and harm marine ecosystems, HySEas uses an advanced Bipolar Membrane (BPM) to carefully control how ions move during electrolysis. This makes the process cleaner, safer, and more efficient. HySEas aims to overcome the efficiency and material challenges of seawater electrolysis, offering a durable and cost-effective solution for green hydrogen production. The project objectives align with EU goals for climate neutrality and green transition.
Sea4Volt
Sea4Volt is a Horizon Europe project co-funded by the European Union and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. Running from September 2025 to August 2028, the project develops a novel low-temperature Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyser designed to operate efficiently, selectively, and durably with a direct seawater feed. By using PFAS-free membranes, corrosion-resistant components, and cost-effective materials, Sea4Volt aims to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production, while advancing brine valorisation and avoiding competition with scarce freshwater resources.
ANEMEL
The ANEMEL project, funded by the European Innovation Council and led by the University of Galway, Ireland, aims to develop efficient electrolysers powered by renewable energy. These electrolysers will use non-critical raw materials in all core components, including electrocatalysts and membranes. This approach reduces costs, enhances recyclability, and minimizes waste. By utilizing low-quality water sources such as seawater and wastewater, ANEMEL seeks to make green hydrogen production more sustainable and economically viable, providing a competitive edge in clean energy technologies.
