Description
In order for Hungary to become the winner of the rise of the "Green Economy", it is necessary to create the knowledge base and set of competences that enable domestic economic actors to be competitive in the field of various decarbonization technologies. To this end, we are building the scientific and technological, legal, economic and industrial law protection base for small-footprint energy technologies, especially H2 production/transport/storage/use and CO2 utilization (CCU). The two technology groups can play a significant role in sectoral integration in parallel, supporting each other, iin strengthening energy security of supply and achieving decarbonization goals.
Main research areas:

  • R&D of the electroactive and structural components of fuel cells (TCs) and new generation Li-ion batteries, the related electrochemical and electrical engineering, manufacturing technology, and recycling aspects
  • Comparing different H2 and CCU technologies and their life expectancy, by the development of test stations
  • Scaled-up H2-generating and CO2-converting electrolyzers and catalytic technologies
  • Design a demonstration plant that can produce e-synthesis gas and then e-kerosene/e-wax from it
  • Disruptive H2 production / storage and CCU processes
  • Economic and legal analysis of H2 and CCU and technologies
  • Supporting corporate competence creation, sectoral integration and educational activities

Benefits to be expected from laboratory research:

  • Outstanding publications
  • New researchers and new academic degrees
  • New R+D+I projects
  • New international projects
  • Carbon dioxide technologies
  • Components of fuel cells and Li-ion cells - establishment of industrial development goals
  • Renewable energy system - establishment of economic development goals
  • Applied research in the field of H2 production and storage
  • Education training

A hazai kutatók nemzetközi beágyazottságát, kutatás-fejlesztési együttműködéseit nagymértékben elősegíti aktív kapcsolatuk a világ legjelentősebb kutatási infrastruktúráival (KI) és bekapcsolódásuk az ott folyó élvonalbeli kutatásokba. A legkorszerűbb KI-k olyan nagy költségű berendezések, létesítmények vagy adatbankok, amelyek építése, fejlesztése és működtetése meghaladja egy-egy ország gazdasági teljesítőképességét, így nemzetközi együttműködésben valósulnak meg.
