The innovative H2HORA project aims primarily at optimizing water consumption in renewable hydrogen production. To achieve this, a detailed research study will be conducted to increase knowledge about the specific water needs as a raw material for electrolysis plants and to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a novel system (intelligent, digitalized, low-cost, and open) that, as a main point and using new 4.0 technologies, predicts, through mathematical models and treatment process modeling, the optimization and minimization of water requirements in hydrogen production processes from renewable energies.

Furthermore, the communication between wastewater generators and the developers of water treatment and hydrogen generation plants will be digitalized and automated to optimize the implementation of H2 generation systems, and the entire process of collecting, managing, and treating information will be validated through the IoT platform and the optimization software based on real cases of process or wastewater. All this will provide a significant competitive advantage in the planning, design, and operation of plants for hydrogen production from renewable energies.

H2HORA is funded by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism through grants to support Innovative Business Groups (AEI) for the year 2023 and is coordinated by SOLARTYS. The participating companies are: Instituto de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos de Concentración S.A. (ISFOC), Vanguardland Innova S.L, Adiego Hermanos S.A. and the Cluster Association for Efficient Water Use (ZINNAE).
