First Scientific Publication of the HYPER Project Published
The first scientific publication related to the HYPER project is now available online, marking an important milestone in the project’s journey and establishing the scientific foundation for more sustainable hydrogen peroxide production.
The peer-reviewed article, published in ACS Omega, provides a comprehensive overview of alternative hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production technologies beyond the conventional anthraquinone (AO) process. The review examines thermochemical, electrochemical, bioelectrochemical, and plasma-based routes, with particular attention to energy performance, techno-economic viability, environmental footprint, and safety aspects.
While the AO process remains the current industrial benchmark, the article highlights its significant climate impact and discusses how electrified and modular H₂O₂ production concepts, especially when powered by renewable electricity, could enable greener, safer, and more flexible solutions in the future. Although many emerging technologies are still at a low TRL, this publication provides a solid basis for the experimental and demonstration activities of the HYPER project, with further results expected as higher TRL validation progresses.
