STORMING will develop breakthrough and innovative structured reactors heated using renewable electricity, to convert fossil and renewable CH4 into CO2-free H2 and highly valuable carbon nanomaterials for battery applications. More specifically, innovative Fe based catalysts, highly active and easily regenerable by waste-free processes, will be developed through a smart rational catalyst design protocol, which combines theoretical (Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics Calculations) and experimental (cluster) studies, all of them assisted by in situ & operando characterisation and Machine Learning tools. The electrification (microwave or joule-heated) of structured reactors, designed by Computational Fluid Dynamics and prepared by 3D printing, will enable an accurate thermal control resulting in high energy efficiency. The project will validate, at TRL 5, the most promising catalytic technology (chosen considering technological, economic, and environmental assessments) to produce H2 with energy efficiency (> 60%), net-zero emissions, and decreasing (ca. 10 %) the costs in comparison with the conventional process. The dissemination and communication of the results will boost the social acceptance of the H2-related technologies and the stakeholder engagement targeting short-term process exploitation and deployment. The key to reach the challenging objectives of STORMING is the highly complementary and interdisciplinary consortium, where basic and applied science merge with engineering, computer and social sciences.

STORMING将开发突破性和创新的结构反应器，使用可再生电力加热，将化石和可再生的CH4转化为不含二氧化碳的H2和高价值的碳纳米材料，用于电池应用。更具体地说，创新的铁基催化剂，高活性且易于通过无废物过程再生，将通过智能合理催化剂设计协议开发，该协议结合了理论（密度泛函数理论和分子动力学计算）和实验（集群）研究，所有这些都得到原位和操作表征和机器学习工具的辅助。由计算流体动力学设计并通过3D打印制备的结构反应器的电气化（微波或焦耳加热）将实现精确的热控制，从而实现高能效。该项目将在TRL 5验证最有前途的催化技术（考虑到技术、经济和环境评估而选择），以能源效率（60%）、净零排放生产氢气，与传统工艺相比，成本降低（约10%）。研究结果的传播和沟通将促进h2相关技术的社会接受度和利益相关者针对短期流程开发和部署的参与。实现STORMING具有挑战性的目标的关键是高度互补和跨学科的联盟，其中基础科学和应用科学与工程，计算机和社会科学相结合。
