Green hydrogen is key to the energy transition, but its safe storage remains a challenge. In the “GreenH2Metals” project, Ruhr University Bochum is researching how recyclable metal alloys can efficiently store hydrogen at room temperature and low pressure. The research group at Ruhr University Bochum, led by Prof. Dr. Christian Liebscher from the Research Center for Future Energy Materials and Systems, is investigating the micro- and nanostructure of metal alloys that can absorb and release hydrogen. The project is funded with approximately 3.3 million euros by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, with around 750.000 euros allocated to Ruhr University.
