Building on previous work that successfully established the viability of converting atmospheric humidity into electricity, the EIC-funded CATCHER project now intends to develop this highly innovative concept. The project will utilise an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach involving research teams and businesses across the EU and Ukraine to optimise and scale up power conversion that will ultimately be suitable for incorporation into the power grid. This ground-breaking technology represents a brand new renewable energy source. It not only integrates with EU programmes on renewables and sustainability, but it also bolsters the EU’s reputation as a global renewable leader.
