4th Consortium Meeting, November 2024, Online

Happy to announce that on November 28-29 the HERCULES project had its consortium meeting (18-month meeting), which was held online. 

Key Achievements and Progress:

• Material Breakthroughs - Our team presented exciting developments in synthesizing highly active, non-toxic, and non-critical redox materials. Achievements include:
  • High energy density
  • Excellent cyclability
  • High thermomechanical strength.
• Computational Advancements - Explored advancements in computational material research, including:
  • Fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer in porous structures
  • Reactor design optimization and system-level analysis.
• Reactor Development - Extensive discussion on reactor development including high-temperature insulation, and electrical heating systems.
• LCA & Techno-Economics - Our experts shared preliminary Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis results, setting the direction for future research.

The HERCULES project continues to advance cutting-edge research and innovation.
