Rare Earth Element Reduction in Ocean Green Energy

Rare Earth Element Reduction in Ocean Green Energy

Rare Earth Element Reduction in Ocean Green Energy 1920 1080 Ocean Decade

Lead institution:

Norwegian University of Science and Technology – Norway

The project INSPIRE goes beyond the state of the art by integrating the on- and off-grid wind farm together with the hydrogen production to optimise the design, reducing Rare Earth Elements (REE) usage, and to optimize the electrolyser lifetime.

The INSPIRE novelties include: up to 100% reduction of REEs in hydrogen production, minimum 30% reduction of REEs in floating offshore wind, risk reduction of Europe’s reliance on REEs and on the non-EU supply chain, new approach to REE reduction and optimised lifetime methodology and algorithm, open access integrated design as EU research infrastructure, integrated transnational road maps for REE reduction and industrialisation of innovations in wind-hydrogen for stakeholders and EU policy makers.

Start Date: 05/01/2024
End Date: 05/01/2027
