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...

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...

Alkaline fuel cells represent an efficient, sustainable and cost effective method for the generation of electrical power from hydrogen. AFC Energy (AFCEN) and Air Products (AIRP) are collaborating on a five year project to generate electrical power from a fuel cell system running on un-treated...

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...

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,...

Produce 13 engineering studies to define optimal designs, H2 supply routes, commercial arrangements and practicalities involved in refuelling high volumes of H2 at busy bus depots across Europe. Conclude on the cost and practical issues associated with hydrogen refuelling at a very large scale...

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...

Main project objectives are: to increase the lifetime of ultra-low Pt-loaded ( 0.2 mg/cm2) membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) for automotive applications to 5,000 h in dynamic operation with degradation rates 10 μVh-1 and to obtain a power density of 1 A/cm2 (performance target achieved). To...
