SUMMARY:

With the growing production of greenhouse gases and waste from industrial, rural and urban areas, research has intensified into alternatives to mitigate the effects of various pollutants with a high organic load. On the other hand, the energy transition has demanded renewable and sustainable energy sources, aiming for a zero-carbon economy, in an attempt to minimise the burning of fossil fuels and their greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide. Green Hydrogen (H2V) has emerged as a highly viable alternative to support the energy transition. In this scenario, the production of H2V from the degradation of organic waste materials in an Anaerobic Reactor, and its respective supply as an energy source to the Fuel Cell, working in an integrated manner, presents itself as a promising alternative, contributing in a sustainable manner to the treatment of organic waste, as well as generating clean and renewable electricity.This project aims to contribute to the advancement of this research by evaluating the performance and potential of devices used in an integrated way through an Acidogenic Anaerobic Reactor (RAC), in the production of H2V, under mesophilic conditions, operating at continuous flow, configured with low-cost materials, feeding the H2V produced into a Fuel Cell and generating electricity. It is hoped that the use of sucrose as a substrate diluted in water, feeding the RAC, will produce H2V and consequently generate electricity in the Fuel Cell. Based on the results to be obtained and other work carried out in different configurations, it is hoped that the integrated use of a RAC and Hydrogen-Air Fuel Cell will be viable in the current scenario of climate change and global energy transition.
