ADVANCED METAL HYDRIDE HYDROGEN COMPRESSORS - PILOT DEVELOPMENT AND MARKET PENETRATION (ATLAS-MHC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

ATLAS-MHC is proposed as a follow-up action of the successfully running ATLAS-H2 IAPP project which has already provided remarkable achievements on solving challenging issues in compressing and storing hydrogen. The major aims are to up-scale the laboratory prototype metal-hydride compressor (MHC) developed under ATLAS-H2 and to evaluate the pilot scale, precompetitive MHC implemented in a complet ...

Photoelectrochemical Demonstrator Device for Solar Hydrogen Generation (PECDEMO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

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 is immersed in water and placed in front of a smaller-bandgap thin film PV cell. This tandem approach ens ...

Solar integrated pressurized high temperature electrolysis (SOPHIA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

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 renewable or low CO2 emitting sources like nuclear is of utmost importance. It is the case of water electroly ...

Solar To Hydrogen Hybrid Cycles (SOL2HY2)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The FCH JU strategy has identified hydrogen production by water decomposition pathways powered by renewables such as solar energy to be a major component for sustainable and carbon-free hydrogen supply. Solar-powered thermo-chemical cycles are capable to directly transfer concentrated sunlight into chemical energy by a series of chemical and electrochemical reactions, and of these cycles, hybrid-s ...

Thermochemical Storage of Solar Heat via Advanced Reactors/Heat exchangers based on Ceramic Foams (STOLARFOAM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"ThermoChemical Storage (TCS) involves the exploitation of the heat effects of reversible chemical reactions for the “storage” of solar heat. Among gas-solid reactions proposed for such an approach the utilization of a pair of redox reactions involving multivalent solid oxides has several inherent advantages that make it attractive for large-scale deployment.The new concept introduced in the curre ...

Solar Facilities for the European Research Area (SFERA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Concentrated solar energy is a very promising renewable source of energy. The solar resource in the Mediterranean countries of the EU and in North Africa is huge. The best known application so far is bulk electricity generation through thermodynamic cycles, but other applications have also been demonstrated, such as production of hydrogen and solar fuels, water treatment and research in advanced m ...

Small Scale Solar Cooling Device (ALONE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Solar cooling technologies use solar thermal energy provided through solar collectors to power thermally driven cooling machines. Cooling demand is rapidly increasing in many parts of the world: the combination of solar thermal and cooling has a high potential to replace conventional cooling machines based on electricity and depleting refrigerants. However, while larger solar cooling systems have ...

Materials and components for Hydrogen production by sulphur based thermochemical cycles (HycycleS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

HycycleS aims at the qualification and enhancement of materials and components for key steps of thermochemical cycles for solar or nuclear hydrogen generation. The focus of HycycleS is the decomposition of sulphuric acid which is the central step of the sulphur based family of those processes, especially the hybrid sulphur cycle and the sulphur-iodine cycle. Breakthrough developments are targeted ...
