The present project (COM-CONCEPT ENERGY/0624/0004/HY-CIRCULAR, “Greening Circular Economy by Innovative transformation of Reuse Recycled Aluminium into Green Hydrogen”, Hystore Tech Ltd, April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) was funded by the Research and Innovation Foundation, under the «Commercial Proof of Concept – Energy» Programme and through the Recovery and Resilience Facility of the NextGenerationEU instrument.

General Objective:

To reuse recycled Aluminium metal collected in neighbourhoods, industrial areas, hospitals and elsewhere, to, in-situ, produce green Hydrogen and other value-added useful products.

Specific Objectives:

To design, construct, operate and demonstrate a simple, final prototype unit utilizing directly recycled Aluminium Scrap metal (Shavings, Cans and Slabs) without any pre-alloying, melting, pre-treatments, etc., in order to produce:

• Pure green hydrogen gas (potentially to be used for electricity production)

• Thermal energy (hot water for central heating and other uses)

• Value-added by-products, such as NaAl(OH)₄ and/or Al(OH)₃ powder for the Aluminium production companies and/or for other uses (water purification, polishing pastes, abrasive detergents, abrasive particles for water jets cutting, etc.)
