Hydrogen and other fuels are expected to play a key role as energy carrier for the transport sector and as energy buffer for the integration of large amounts of renewable energy into the grid. Therefore the development of carbon lean technologies producing hydrogen at reasonable price from...

Solar-powered thermo-chemical cycles are capable to directly transfer concentrated sunlight into chemical energy by a series of chemical and electro-chemical reactions, and of these cycles, thehybrid-sulphur (HyS) cycle was identified as the most promising one. The project focus was on...

To address the challenges of solar energy capture and storage in the form of a chemical fuel, we will develop a hybrid photoelectrochemical-photovoltaic (PEC-PV) tandem device for light-driven water splitting. This concept is based on a visible light-absorbing metal oxide photoelectrode, which...

Within the HYDROSOL-PLANT project the development and operation of a plant for solar thermochemical hydrogen production from water is pursued. The main objectives of HYDROSOL-PLANT are to achieve a material lifetime exceeding 1000 operational hours and to construct a solar hydrogen production...

AutoStack-CORE established a coalition with the objective to develop best-of-its-class automotive stack hardware with superior power density and performance while meeting commercial target cost. The project consortium combines the expertise of OEMs, component suppliers, system integrators, and...

The CHIC project is a flagship zero emission bus project demonstrating the readiness of fuel cell electric buses for widespread commercial deployment, thus offering a solution for cities to decarbonise their public transport fleet and tackle local air pollution. CHIC involves 23 partners from 8...

Project ALKAMMONIA focused on the design, manufacture and testing of a prototype integrated small-scale power system designed for remote applications. The prototype integrates two main components: a fuel delivery system that passes ammonia through a cracker to produce hydrogen and an alkaline...

The ene.field project has placed over 950 fuel cell μ-CHPs into homes across 12 European countries by June 2017 and has commitments to place a total of 1051 units by the end of the project on 31/08/2017. The project consortium comprises 26 partners from across research, heating industry,...

SUSANA critically reviewed the state-of-the-art in physical and mathematical modelling of phenomena and scenarios relevant to hydrogen safety, i.e. releases and dispersion, ignitions and fi res, defl agrations and detonations, etc. A major objective was to develop and compile a guide of best...
