Hydrozine aggregates for large-scale production and use of formic acid as a renewable energy source

Within the Energy Transition, the Netherlands is working on sustainable, reliable and available energy that is affordable. In addition to generating sufficient renewable energy, the transport, conversion and storage of this energy is a major challenge due to grid congestion. DENS has developed a prototype system in which formic acid is converted at room temperature into H2 and CO2 and eventually electricity. The purchased formic acid is sustainably produced and deposited by DENS as hydrozine®. The aim of this project is to (continue to) develop a hydrozine aggregate and thus prepare for large-scale market entry. This involves the development and optimisation of various sub-components, the setting up of a large-scale production line of the final product and the commissioning of the aggregates. It also results in the phasing out of the polluting diesel generators
