Last Project Plenary and General Assembly
25 August, 2026
As FreeHydroCells moves closer to its conclusion, the project is focused on completing proof-of-concept verification and assessing its broader impact. While the final chapter has yet to be written, important milestones remain ahead. Stay tuned for future updates as we reflect on achievements and explore the project's legacy and future potential.
New Breakthrough in Hydrogen Research from FreeHydroCells
26 June, 2026
The FreeHydroCells project celebrates a major milestone as its latest research is featured on the cover of ACS Electrochemistry. The study explores a hidden challenge in green hydrogen production—how tiny bubbles can limit efficiency—and reveals how advanced 3D-printed electrode designs can better control bubble behaviour. This breakthrough offers new insights into making hydrogen production more efficient, bringing clean energy solutions one step closer to reality.
FreeHydroCells 2025 General Assembly Meeting held in Cork, Ireland
1 October, 2025
The FreeHydroCells consortium came together in sunny Cork for its September 2025 General Assembly, hosted by University College Cork and UCC Academy. Over two days, partners from across Europe shared progress, explored technical challenges, and strengthened collaboration on the project’s mission: transforming solar energy into green hydrogen at scale.

Empowering the future: Insights from the FreeHydroCells Civic Engagement Workshop
14 February, 2025
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.
