FreeHydroCells: A Bold New Path for Clean Energy and Climate Action

FreeHydroCells is reimagining green hydrogen from the ground up. By eliminating rare materials and embracing decentralised, modular systems, the project offers a bold, affordable, and community-focused path to clean energy. In this post, we explore how FreeHydroCells is tackling two of today’s biggest challenges—climate change and energy poverty—through innovation, resilience, and local empowerment.

The Urgent Case For Advancing Clean Energy Access and Affordability

Energy poverty and climate change demand bold, transformative solutions. FreeHydroCells, a groundbreaking EU-funded project, reimagines how we can produce affordable green hydrogen using local materials and self-driven systems. By moving beyond costly, centralised models, it offers a new vision for clean energy access — one that empowers communities everywhere to create their own sustainable future.

Empowering the future: Insights from the FreeHydroCells Civic Engagement Workshop

The FreeHydroCells Civic Engagement Workshop brought together experts from academia, industry, and policy to discuss the future of green hydrogen and its transformative potential. The project’s novel submerged photon-driven electrolyser system aims to make hydrogen production more efficient, sustainable, and affordable. Key discussions focused on overcoming adoption barriers, integrating local energy solutions, and aligning with EU policies to drive the transition toward a decentralised, green energy future.
