BEST4Hy H2020 is the name of a project its participants describe as an international partnership to develop technologies for the recovery of critical raw materials from hydrogen technologies. The eight Europe-based companies and institutes comprising the partnership held a web kickoff meeting Jan. 19-20. They say the work they are undertaking is \u201cwithin the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 research program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The consortium consists of Environment Park SpA (Italy), CEA Liten (France), Turin Politecnico (Italy), Hensel Recycling Gmbh (Germany), Elringklinger AG (Germany), Aktsiaselts Elcogen (Estonia), RINA Consulting SpA (Italy), and the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). States the consortium, \u201cAs demand for hydrogen technology increases, ever more devices become in use and will eventually end up in the waste stream, requiring therefore to be handled in a sustainable manner. However, according to the findings of previous research initiatives, there are very few examples of viable and upscaled technologies for the recovery and recycling of critical raw materials from fuel cells and electrolyzers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BEST4Hy members say they will focus on the recycling of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). \u201cThe project aims to adapt two existing recycling processes applied already to other technologies and to validate a novel dismantling process for PEMFCs,\u201d states the group, adding, \u201cAmbitious targets for recycled content in new stacks\/cells have been set and will be validated by fuel cell producers, to prove the viability of higher value, closed loop recycling.\u201d Polymers and platinum group metals are among the materials in PEMFCs, while SOFCs can contain rare earth metals such as lanthanum and strontium, plus zirconia and some nickel.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/article\/hydrogen-cell-recycling-europe-hensel-germany\/\">Recycling Today<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European firms say they will explore technologies to recover raw materials from spent hydrogen fuel cells.
