GH2 Project co-produces ethanol and acetal with green hydrogen

In Spain, Hydrogen Central reports that researchers from Horizon Europe-funded GH2 Project estimated they can produce 87 liters of ethanol from 1 kilogram of green hydrogen, which can then be converted into 72 liters of acetal.

Findings from the project’s researchers was recently published in Global Challenges. Although the discovery may not be a major money maker, the researchers believe that simultaneous production of green hydrogen together with valuable  C2+ chemicals, such as acetal or acetaldehyde, can help boost the economic viability of costly green hydrogen production.
