Накратко на български

Съхранението на водород за превозни средства се изследва чрез използването на порести материали и леки хидриди. Това помага за намаляване на емисиите на въглероден диоксид и подобряване на пробега на автомобилите с горивни елементи.

Final Activity Report Summary - HYTRAIN (Hydrogen storage research training network)

The HYTRAIN project was funded by the Marie Curie programme as a research training network to investigate improved ways of storing hydrogen on vehicles powered by fuel cells. This area of research is of major significance in connection with global warming. The only possible ways of removing CO2 production from car travel is to move to either battery or hydrogen fuel cell propulsion. This possibility exists because of the anticipated introduction of carbon neutral forms of electricity production, specifically wind and nuclear because both these production routes involve the production co considerable excess power in off-peak periods when the wind is blowing. However, major technological limitations to the range between refuelling still exist for both methods. In the case of hydrogen, the existing technologies would involve either high pressure hydrogen or liquid hydrogen. The obvious solid state hydride method using transition metals would be too heavy to help as far as range is concerned. Research is therefore linked to either physisorbed H2 on the surface of porous materials or using light hydrides. HYTRAIN has made considerable contributions in both these areas. In porous materials, considerable progress has been recorded in producing very large surface area carbons and in understanding the physisorption process in high area metal oxide framework compounds. In solid hydrides progress has been established in understanding the Mg-Tm intermetallic hydrides and in the process of hydrogen cycling of the Li3N/Li2NH/LiNH2 system where a continuous phase change has been established. Important progress has also been achieved towards the engineering of storage tanks for materials which can already be upscaled.

Цел на проекта

HYTRAIN integrates the leading centres in Europe active in hydrogen storage research within a coherent framework of dedicated networking activities focused on the training of young researchers through a joint innovative research programme. The core researc h objectives of HYTRAIN are to: propose and assess innovative methods of storage from the point of view of full engineering design; allow for a better response time to suggested novel storage materials, enabling quick assessment and development to the prot otype stage; achieve an accelerated transfer of research results to the corresponding engineering applications; and to ensure that basic research is informed by industrial, economic and social imperatives. HYTRAIN's places an emphasis on longer-range solut ions, primarily hydrides and porous stores, with a view to identifying potential lightweight storage solutions and an aim of work towards practical storage tank design and hybrid solutions. Currently, no single hydrogen storage technology satisfies all of the criteria required by manufacturers and end-users. HYTRAIN's scientific and technical activities have been structured to address the improvement and development of current and novel hydrogen storage technologies and it will lead to the generation, expl oitation and dissemination of new knowledge in a number of strategically important research areas, namely: hydrides, porous media, storage tank design and hybrid systems. The HYTRAIN research work plan takes into account the fact that the research methods for both hydrides and porous media use a number of common techniques and equipment, particularly with regard to sample characterisation. The rationale for this is that trainee researchers are likely to obtain a greater benefit at the research training lev el from the proposed structure, as it emphasises the complimentarity of the various techniques. The work plan is structured into 5 interdependent work packages, each with a number of tasks.
