Notes (English)
The FreeHydroCells project, a European multi-partner consortium led by University College Cork (UCC), has secured nearly €3.75 million in Horizon Europe research funding for over three years of pioneering research. If successful, this initiative could deliver a low-cost solar-to-chemical energy conversion system, utilising sustainable materials. Learn more at freehydrocells.eu. This project is funded by the European Union under grant agreement No. 101084261 (FreeHydroCells) and supported in part by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) under Grant Number 12/RC/2278-P2 (AMBER).
