Decarbonizing Maritime Transport through Hydrogen Storage Solutions

The HIDRAM Project aims to support the decarbonization of maritime transport through the development of innovative technologies related to the hydrogen and ammonia value chain, while also boosting the Spanish industry's R&D&I capabilities in this field.

The main objective of the HIDRAM Project is to develop a pioneering demonstrator in Europe for storing green hydrogen in the form of green ammonia. This includes the synthesis of ammonia from green hydrogen and two technologies for converting it into electricity: one based on PEM fuel cells (proton exchange membrane) adapted for the maritime sector, and another based on SOFC-H fuel cells (solid oxide fuel cells for hydrogen).

The HIDRAM Consortium is made up of a multidisciplinary team of five partners (ASTILLEROS DE MALLORCA, ADVANCED THERMAL DEVICES, FRANCISCO CARDAMA, JALVASUB ENGINEERING, VENTOR INNOVATIONS), three subcontracted research organizations (Institute of Ceramics and Glass of the CSIC (ICV-CSIC), UNED, and the CIDAUT Foundation), and an external entity specialized in the naval sector (SOERMAR Technology Center Foundation).
