๐กThe LYDIA project aims to commercialize #lowcost components (30% lower than commercial) for #fuelcells and #electrolyzers through the #recycling of #spent Membrane Electrode Assemblies (#MEAs). MONOLITHOSโ role is to upgrade the hydrometallurgical leaching process for Platinum Group Metals (#PGMs) recycling from End-of-Life MEAs. โป๏ธ
๐ Our #innovative, #ecofriendly and #sustainable recycling process is designed to recover valuable materials, such as #electrocatalysts from fuel cells and electrolyzers, with #highyields. This method not only preserves the efficiency of the recovered materials, but also opens up new opportunities for their second-life applications, making significant strides towards a #circular #hydrogen #economy.
