The HYPER Horizon Europe project was recently presented at TEXCHEM – RegioTEX 2025, held in Dvůr Králové nad Labem on 23 October 2025. The conference, organised under the auspices of the regional Vice President, gathered representatives from research institutions, industry, and regional development bodies to discuss innovation and sustainability within the textile and chemical sectors.

HYPER partners from the National Institute of Chemistry and INOTEX contributed to the scientific programme through an oral lecture delivered, which attracted around 50 participants. The presentation, titled “HYPER: An Electrochemically Produced Oxidiser for Modular Onsite Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂)”, introduced the project’s innovative approach to developing electrochemical conversion routes for sustainable chemical production.

The presentation highlighted how HYPER’s innovative process can overcome the limitations of the conventional anthraquinone method, typically dependent on fossil hydrogen and complex multi-step operations, by enabling on-demand, onsite generation of H₂O₂ using renewable electricity. This approach significantly enhances safety and sustainability, reducing CO₂ emissions by 75% and energy consumption by 33%, while eliminating the need for stabilisers and hazardous solvents.

The project’s validation covers three industrial demonstrations: textiles (INOTEX), coatings and chemicals (HELIOS / Belinka Perkemija), and pulp & paper (ANDRITZ). Each demonstration will assess the potential of the HYPER technology to deliver measurable environmental and economic benefits within its sector.

Participation in TEXCHEM – RegioTEX 2025 provided an excellent opportunity to disseminate the project’s objectives, strengthen collaboration within the textile and chemical innovation community, and increase visibility of HYPER’s contribution to Europe’s decarbonisation and twin transition goals.
