The University of Szczecin is coordinating the CleanHME (Clean Hydrogen-Metal Energy) research project financed by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 program. The project is worth approx. EUR 5.5 million. It has started in August 2020 and will last until July 2024.

Under the CleanHME project, the Institute of Physics of the University of Szczecin, in cooperation with 17 institutions from the European Union, Canada and the USA, will carry out research aimed at developing the concept of a new, clean, safe and very efficient energy source based on the fusion of hydrogen isotopes in metallic environments.

Scientists will look for suitable metallic materials that would significantly increase the efficiency and stability of the reactors while avoiding the production of radioactive materials. The proposed solutions may be a breakthrough for the energy industry and will be of great importance for the so-called emission-free technologies, contributing to the protection of the climate and the natural environment.
