FormaPort
The project „FormaPort – Development of an Innovative Hydrogen Transport Medium Based on Formate Salts“ aims to create an innovative solution for the safe and efficient transport of hydrogen.
By using formate salts as a carrier medium, hydrogen is chemically bound, allowing it to be transported safely without the need for high pressure or extreme temperatures. This technology offers a CO₂-neutral and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods and contributes to a sustainable energy transition.
The project is funded by the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Project partners include AKROS Energy GmbH, the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT), Wismar University of Applied Sciences, and TAB GmbH.
