Description du projet
Une méthode de stockage durable pour les énergies renouvelables
Les pays et les organisations du monde entier cherchent des moyens novateurs de lutter contre le changement climatique. Les sources d’énergie renouvelables pourraient apporter la réponse à ce défi, mais elles manquent de solutions de stockage efficaces pour compenser leur caractère souvent intermittent. Les piles énergétiques à oxyde solide actuelles, qui pourraient offrir une solution de stockage, s’avèrent trop onéreuses et nuisibles à l’environnement. C’est dans ce contexte que le projet NOUVEAU, financé par l’UE, introduira de nouvelles cellules à oxyde solide utilisant des matériaux d’électrode sans lanthane ni PMG, des interconnexions électriques et des électrolytes solides conçus pour être recyclables, durables et efficaces à produire.
Objectif
The NOUVEAU project will develop solid oxide cells (SOCs) with innovative La- and PMG-free electrode materials, solid electrolyte and interconnects with an overall reduced amount of REE (30%), recycled Y (50-70%) and Cr (20%). To this end, advanced coating methodologies and modelling will be employed in combination with sustainable-by-design and recycling approaches. Integrated models will be adapted and developed to predict physicochemical properties/toxicity endpoints in real life scenarios, including multiscale models; data-based modelling (SHF, SPF); user-ready modelling for industrial deployment (SSbD tools); standardisation and regulatory compliance (REACH updates).
By addressing resource and energy efficiency through material design and waste management, NOUVEAU will create opportunities for increased circularity of raw materials, lower climate impact and decreased criticality of solid oxide cells materials.
To validate the NOUVEAU project's objectives and their economic, commercial and environmental impact, a comprehensive set of assessment techniques will be used, including life-cycle analysis, cost analysis, and social and eco-efficiency life-cycle analysis. The assessment results will guide the project's efforts towards optimised resource efficiency and SOC upscaling with improved stability benchmarked against the reference state-of-the ones.
More specifically, NOUVEAU will benefit from the complementarity and scalability of the green inks development in combination with spray printing, slot die coating and convection and radiation drying. The NOUVEAU project draws on the complementary expertise of applied research centres and innovation driven companies, including Marion Technologies, Coatema, Fiaxell and QSAR Lab, in the field of materials design, SOC engineering and multi-scale modelling, including in silico methodologies (machine learning, artificial intelligence).
