The SWEETHY project was pleased to participate in the webinar “Direct Seawater Electrolysis – From Challenges to Solutions”, organized by the Sea4Volt project on 23 June 2026. Together with the HySEAS project, SWEETHY contributed to discussions on the challenges and opportunities of direct seawater electrolysis for sustainable hydrogen production.
The webinar brought together experts from the Sea4Volt, HySEAS, and SWEETHY projects, funded by the European Union and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, to explore how researchers are addressing key challenges in the development of efficient, durable, and scalable seawater electrolysis technologies.
During the session, participants discussed important topics including corrosion, selectivity, material development, system durability, and the requirements for long-term operation in seawater environments. The event concluded with a joint panel discussion and audience Q&A, focusing on the future potential of direct seawater hydrogen production and its pathway towards industrial-scale deployment.
We would like to thank the Sea4Volt project for the excellent organization of the webinar and for the invitation to contribute to this important discussion.
Special thanks go to SWEETHY project coordinator Olesia Danyliv (RISE Research Institutes of Sweden) and project partner Julien Fage, PhD (CENmat) for representing the project through their presentations and active participation in the panel discussion.
The webinar provided a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, share research insights, and strengthen collaboration between European projects working towards the development of innovative hydrogen production technologies.
