CSIC and University of Castilla-La Mancha to develop hydrogen green production prototype with Fundación Domingo Martínez funding

Type: Development · Technology: Hydrogen · Country: Spain · Announced: 2026-06-16

The Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha secured funding from Fundación Domingo Martínez to construct a new demonstrator prototype for optimizing green hydrogen production and storage. The project, based on a CSIC patent, will be developed at the CSIC's Cartuja facility in Seville and aims to validate the commercial viability of low-temperature water electrolysis using anion exchange membranes. The technology replaces costly noble metals with abundant materials, reducing production costs and improving scalability for industrial deployment. Researchers will design customized electrode-membrane assemblies with nanometric metallic coatings to enhance efficiency and durability under demanding conditions. The two-year project builds on prior CSIC research that had already patented improvements to this emerging green hydrogen production method.
