In Ireland, Silicon Republic reported that a new research project aims to support Ireland’s transition to a circular economy by reducing waste and boosting hydrogen production.
The report highlighted that the the Nano2H2 project is a collaboration between Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and Trinity College Dublin, which aims to develop low-cost materials for the production of hydrogen from renewable sources.
Paula Colavita of Trinity College Dublin said waste can help produce hydrogen “more effectively and at a lower cost”, but that new materials are needed.
“We are at the early stages of designing these materials and are excited to work with our students and a team of researchers to achieve this purpose,” Colavita said.
The project is co-funded by Science Foundation Ireland and aims to reduce the massive amount of waste produced in Ireland every year, the report added.
