24/7 ZEN project at the 40th Anniversary Celebration Event of ICE-HT
On November 8, 2025, Dr. Dimitris Niakolas from FORTH, attended a seminar as part of the 40th Anniversary Celebration Event of the Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (ICE-HT) at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) in Patras, Greece. The seminar, titled “40th Anniversary Celebration Event of ICE-HT”, explored the latest advancements in sustainable energy technologies.
Dr. Niakolas’s presentation entitled: “Research and Development on Electrochemical Sources for the Production/Storage of Green Energy Using Fuel Cells/Electrolysers Under High Temperature (SOFCs/SOEs) and High Pressure”, emphasized the crucial role of electrochemical sources, such as Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) and Solid Oxide Electrolysers (SOEs). His work highlighted innovative developments in high-pressure water electrolysis, showcasing their potential in green hydrogen production and energy storage solutions under extreme conditions.
This presentation also tied into the ongoing efforts of the 24/7 ZEN project, which focuses on developing sustainable, efficient, and low-emission energy systems. By integrating high-temperature and high-pressure technologies, the project aims to achieve breakthroughs in the continuous production and storage of green hydrogen energy, contributing to global sustainability goals.
The event brought together over 150 participants, including researchers, employees, alumni, directors, and members of various FORTH institutes. The 40th edition of the seminar was not only a celebration of past achievements but a demonstration of ICE-HT’s commitment to leading innovative research in the decades to come.
