SUN-H2

Clean and green hydrogen production directly from solar radiation

SOLE-H2 is a research project focused on the development of innovative solutions for the direct production of hydrogen using solar energy as the only energy source.

The project explores alternative pathways to conventional electricity-driven processes, enabling a more sustainable and truly green approach to hydrogen generation.

Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, and by the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

Overview

SOLE-H2 aims to develop low-cost, scalable and decentralized systems capable of producing hydrogen directly from sunlight and water.

The project investigates advanced molecular and supramolecular materials—organic, inorganic and hybrid—designed to efficiently convert solar energy into chemical energy.

Impact

SOLE-H2 contributes to the development of sustainable hydrogen technologies by reducing dependence on electricity-based processes and promoting a “green-by-design” approach.

The project supports the transition toward decentralized energy systems, enabling hydrogen production in a wide range of contexts, from small-scale applications to medium-sized infrastructures, including critical and emergency scenarios.
