Technical, economic and environmental feasibility of solide oxyde fuel cells (SOFC) for electricity generation from biogas – PILE-EAU-BIOGAZ
The program ANR H-PAC 2010 (quotation) "aims to contribute to the development of French industrial sector of fuel cells for stationary applications ..." expecting essentially four types of technical solutions, namely "the implementation of innovative materials more robust and reliable, the integrati
In and ex situ link : water transport and distribution through the working ion exchange membrane – INEXTREMIS
INEXTREMIS is a fundamental research project, exploratory type, which aims to contribute to the understanding of coupled charge/mass (proton/water) transport phenomena involved in the operation of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. That in order to establish relevant links between the evolution of the
Diagnosis of Fuel Cells for stationary and automotive applications (2nd phase) – DIAPASON 2
Fuel cell is a promising technology for both automotive and stationary applications. However, its reliability and its lifetime remain major hurdles for its wide access to these two markets. It is therefore necessary to develop reliable diagnosis tools with minimal instrumentation and even without an
HSTE stack under pressure with maximum contact area and gas distribution through the electrode – APHRODITE
The Aphrodite Project deals with hydrogen production by High Temperature Steam Electrolysis (HTSE). It aims at designing, manufacturing and testing a new concept of HTSE stack with high performances by operating at high pressure (30 bar). It is not only an innovative design but also a new approach f
Wet and affordable hydrogen storage – STHYME
In the case of mass production of hydrogen by electrolysis from renewable energies, a hydrogen storage buffer is often needed. This one requires gas drying beforehand, indeed : - in the case of metallic tank, drying is required to prevent corrosion, - when hydrogen is stored as metal hydrides, a
Damage tolerance of compressed gaseous hydrogen composite vessels – TOLEDO
The development of hydrogen as a reliable energy vector is strongly connected to the performance and level of safety of the components of the supply chain. In this respect, achieving an efficient storage is crucial to address transition markets and automotive markets. For near term, compressed hydro
Fluoro-phosphonic Membranes for High Temperature Fuel Cells – MEMFOS
MEMFOS project aims at developping a new synthetic strategy to afford, in the next few years, a newly formed polyelectrolyte membrane for fuel cell (PEMFC). This new PEMFC will perform for stationnay use as well as at high temperature (120°C or more). More precisely, unlike commercially available PE
