DEGRADATION SIGNATURES IDENTIFICATION FOR STACK OPERATION DIAGNOSTICS (DESIGN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
Today, main expectation for SOFC stationary systems competitiveness is to exceed a durability of 40 000 h, an objective which is not today reached except for very specific designs. A better understanding and detection of the failure mechanisms and the internal condition of stacks is of major importance for the introduction of the SOFC technology. If, massive SOFC stack or auxiliary failure can be ...

Hydrogen fuel Quality requirements for transportation and other energy applications (HyQ)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
Hydrogen-based energy conversion devices, especially proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), are known to be sensitive to hydrogen fuel impurities. In this context, adequate specification of hydrogen quality, as well as means of checking H2 fuel compliance, are crucial to warrant reliability of these devices. Besides, a technical and economical compromise between performance loss and purifica ...

Bioethanol from paper fibres separated from solid waste, MSW (FIBREETOH)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
The EC Directives set ambitious targets for mandatory 10 % biofuels share in road transport. 2nd generation biofuels will give significant benefits as ethanol blends in gasoline and synthetic biodiesel products. The innovative focus in the FibreEtOH project is to demonstrate for the first time globally in a commercial scale, a cost efficient paper fibre based ethanol production with high, > 70 ...

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells – Integrating Degradation Effects into Lifetime Prediction Models (SOFC-Life)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Long-term stable operation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) is a basic requirement for introducing this technology to the stationary power market. Degradation phenomena limiting the lifetime can be divided into continuous (baseline) and incidental (transient) effects.This project is concerned with understanding the details of the major SOFC continuous degradation effects and developing models that ...

Evaluating the Performance of Fuel Cells in European Energy Supply Grids (FC-EuroGrid)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
It has become apparent in the development of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) Multi Annual Implementation Plan (MAIP) and Annual Implementation Plans (API) that it is difficult to formulate precise targets and requirements for stationary fuel cell applications due to the complicated interaction of FC system operation with grid specifics and the differing goals of FC implementa ...

Strategic Targets for 2020 - Collaboration Initiative on Biorefineries (Star-COLIBRI)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
For the first time in Europe a real critical mass along the whole value-chain, and in all aspects of the biorefinery concept, will be achieved by the close collaboration of five industry-driven European Technology Platforms, five excellent research partners with complementary expertise, and the International Civil Society Organisation IUCN, who will validate the impact on the global sustainability ...

Development of advanced BIOREFinery schemes to be INTEGrated into existing industrial fuel producing complexes (BIOREF-INTEG)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,
"The overall aim of BIOREF-INTEG is to develop advanced biorefinery schemes to be integrated into existing industrial fuel producing complexes. S&T project objectives are: to make the production of biofuels more competitive, to identify and develop the optimal integrated biorefinery schemes for the production of best suited ""building blocks"" in terms of processes and bioproducts, and to identify ...
