Projects
Highly efficient hydrogen production using HyCon system (HyCon)
Project description
The vision of the collaborative project HyCon is hydrogen production from solar energy. By combining solar cells with electrolysis cells a system is created that in principle enables this vision. The advantage of this system is that regenerative energy supply can be made independent from weather conditions. The project is designed to improve performance in all components of the HyCon system.
