Solar Cooling Production and Hydrogen-Based power generation and storage – Hydrosolar 21
Hydrogen energy storage and solar cooling are pivotal for advancing renewable energy technologies. They Hydrosolar 21 project integrates these technologies to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in power generation and cooling systems.
Hydrosolar 21 European Project
HydroSolar 21 is an innovative project, participated by ITCL and coordinated by “Plan Estrategico de Burgos” association in Burgos (Spain)”.
The aim of this project is to produce and storage electric energy using hydrogen.
Two main guidelines have been developed in this project:
- The application of wind and solar power technologies to hydrogen production through electrolysis process. The hydrogen generated will be stored as fuel.
- The application of and adsorption-based cooling generation process towards supplying air conditioning services to a building. Adsorption process was powered by renewable energy power technologies such as thermal solar.
Other participants such as “Instituto de la Construcción”, Burgos City Council, “Agencia Provincial de la Energía” and “Centro Europeo de Empresas e Innovación de Burgos” (CEEI Burgos) can be highlighted.
Demonstration stage was developed in CEEI facilities, in Villafría (Burgos).
The Hydrosolar 21 project exemplifies the fusion of innovative technologies for sustainable energy solutions. By integrating hydrogen energy storage with solar cooling systems, this European initiative enhances both energy efficincy and sustainability. Through the application of wind anf solar power for hydrogen production and the use of adsortion-based cooling, the project advances the frontier of renewable energy. Collaborators such as ITCL, the “Plan Estratégico de Burgos” association, and various local institutions played a pivotal role in demonstrating these technologies at CEEI facilities in Burgos. This project not only showcases the potential for improving energy management but also highlights the importance of renewable technologies in addressing global energy challenges.
