Two years of HERMES have been completed!
The M24 consortium meeting took place at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology where all partners presented their work towards the development of highly efficient supercritical zero emission energy system directly contributing to the EU decarbonization agenda!
The work done so far focuses on the development and validation of key components of the first highly efficient closed-loop system running on chemically stored renewable energy and generating virtually no emissions.
Key research outcomes include:
- Numerical investigation of synthesis processes for methanol and the exploitation of power-to-X fuels as enablers for decarbonization via RES integration and storage
- Experimental and numerical studies of flame and fundamental combustion characteristics of the renewable fuels, including hydrogen
- Key components development for a supercritical system: specialized methanol injector and oxy-fuel combustor
One more year is yet to come to allow for the realization of the first highly efficient closed-loop system running on chemically stored renewable energy and generating virtually no emissions.
