Accelerating a shift towards deployment of CCS in Europe through a cross-border CO₂ transport infrastructure

The overall aim is to create the foundations for commercializing an automotive derivative fuel cell system in the 50 to 100 kW range, for combined heat and power (CHP) applications in commercial and industrial buildings.

The project Predict-RPT has sought to improve our understanding of the phenomenon of rapid phase transition (RPT). This is becoming an important safety issue as the transport and utilization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is increasing in a Norwegian...

In the project "Establishment of a process for production of membrane elements", an industrial manufacturing process for membrane tubes for CO₂ capture using hydrogen separation, is developed. Reinertsen AS, SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and SINTEF...

Hydrogen is considered a favourable alternative for transport and for storing peak renewable energy for the grid. This project investigates the feasibility of a bio-hybrid photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell with modified hydrogenase enzymes as catalysts...

The main goal of ELECTRA is to design, build, and test a kW size multi-tubular proton ceramic high temperature electrolyser for production of hydrogen from steam and renewable energy.

The future European electricity system will be more integrated cross-borders and will include a larger share of renewable intermittent generation than what is the case today.

The Metallica project's goal is to achieve a renewable production of hydrogen by developing an electrolyser cell operating at 600°C - for efficient use of heat and steam supplied by geothermal or solar plants.

The overall objective is to develop fundamental understanding of defined issues underpinning lifetime and performance of fuel cells, electrolysers and gas separation membranes.

Improving Lifetime of Fuel Cells by Smart Control and Prognostics

The aim of the project is to lead the development of new materials and systems designs for low cost, efficient and durable PEM water electrolysis stacks.

The main idea of REforCELL is to develop a novel more efficient and cheaper multi-fuel membrane reformer for pure hydrogen production in order to intensify the process of hydrogen production through the integration of reforming and purification in...

The NaProCs project aims to develop a new class of fuel cells and other devices for hydrogen, operating at temperatures attractive for transportation and mobile applications. This comes timely when fuel cell cars are making their way to...

IDEALHY was an enabling project to develop an economically viable hydrogen liquefaction capacity in and for Europe, to accelerate rational infrastructure investment and enabling the rapid spread of hydrogen refuelling stations across the continent.

Integrating European Infrastructure to support science and development of Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies towards European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy

The overall purpose and ambition of HyLIFT-DEMO is to conduct a large scale demonstration of hydrogen powered fuel cell forklifts, which enables a following deployment and market introduction starting no later than 2013.

Electric vehicles with fuel cells that run on hydrogen are one among several sustainable supplements to fossil fuels enabling the same convenient transportation as today. European project H2moves Scandinavia sets out to gain customer acceptance for...

Hydrogen membrane reactors are an attractive technology for pre-combustion carbon dioxide capture in both coal and gas fired power stations because they combine the efficient conversion of syngas into hydrogen fuel with capture of the remaining...
