Reactor system – H2 Infrastructure

The Flow reactor systems for CCU, P2X, aftertreatment system and material research to support renewable hydrogen utilization, synthesis development to products (P2X technologies) and development of efficient catalytic methods to reach low pollutant emissions in exhaust gases. This procurement is co-funded by European Structural Funds - Just Transition Fund (JTF). The implementation of the procurement is dependent on the continuation of the funding.

Environmental and Chemical Engineering research unit at University of Oulu is conducting research on environmental catalysis where reaction activities are studied using synthetic feed gases in small-scale reactors simulating full-scale conditions. These kinds of experiments are a tool to develop new catalytic materials and methods in relation to green-shift technologies, which will be based on green hydrogen, which is produced mainly with green electricity in future. In addition to electric engines, hydrogen based fuels (H2 direct use, e-ammonia, e-methanol and e-HCs) will be used in combustion engines, replacing fossil diesel, gasoline, gas and other HC fuels. Research for the fuel preparation and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems with synthetic gases requires this new reactor system (analyzers in separate purchases).
