Abstract

The H2VOLT project represents a initiative aimed at revolutionizing the energy landscape by leveraging hydrogen-based solutions.Initiated in response to global imperatives outlined in the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal, H2VOLT targetssignificant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on rare metals while promoting energy efficiency. Central tothe project’s vision is the development and integration of high-voltage ionization technology, offering a transformative approach toenhancing the performance of hydrogen fuel cells. Collaborating entities, including BEIA Consult International, the University ofTimișoara, and the National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenic and Isotopic Technologies, bring together diverseexpertise and resources to drive innovation and market implementation. Through interdisciplinary research, pilot systemdevelopment, and cost reduction strategies, H2VOLT aims to deliver scalable, economically viable solutions for energy storage andgeneration. The project’s ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable energy ecosystem that fosters energy autonomy, environmentalstewardship, and economic resilience on both national and global scales.
