Objective The primary objective of the PrimoLyser project is to develop, construct, and test a cost-minimised highly efficient and durable PEM-electrolyser stack aimed for integrated with domestic µCHPs through a combination of the following activities:1) Specification done by the end-user(s);2) Basic material R&D on catalyst & membrane to increase durability & efficiency while reducing cost;3) Process development to fabricate high performance MEAs;4) Engineering of a durable, reliable, and robust high pressure PEM stack through CFD modelling and design optimisation;5) Continuous test for 2,000 hours together with a 1.5 kW µCHP; and6) An evaluation headed by the end-user(s)The key-targets for the stack are as follows:A) Hydrogen production capacity: 1 Nm3/h;B) Pressure: 10 MPa (100 bar);C) 1.68 V @ 1.2 A/cm2 not only at BoL but also after 2,000 hours of continuous operation;D) Cost: <5,000 € per Nm3 H2 production capacity per hour in series production; andE) Durability: >20,000 hours @ constant loadFurthermore, the stack will be liquid cooled to enhance durability and enable easy heat utilisation. This is important as a PEM electrolyser operated with renewable will run when the electricity is cheap and therefore not simultaneous with the µCHP.The PrimoLyser project is scheduled for 2.5 years. The present proposal is phase I in a 2 step development, where phase II will comprise BoP development & full integration of the electrolyser with a µCHP followed by a field test.The Consortium is well balanced, with the following 6 partners complementing one another to achieve the project target goals: i) A PEM FC manufacturing company (IRD Fuel Cells A/S [SME], DK); ii) 3 research centres and universities VTT (FI), Åbo Akademi (FI) & ECN (NL); iii) A leading manufacturer of ion exchange polymers and membranes (Fumatech (DE)); and iv) A subsidiary utility company (Abengoa-Hynergreen [ES]) Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectrical engineeringpower engineeringelectric power generationcombined heat and powernatural scienceschemical sciencespolymer sciencesnatural scienceschemical sciencescatalysisengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfuel cellsengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energyhydrogen energy Programme(s) FP7-JTI - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Joint Technology Initiatives Topic(s) SP1-JTI-FCH-2.1 - Efficient PEM electrolysers SP1-JTI-FCH-3.2 - Component and system improvement for stationary applications Call for proposal FCH-JU-2008-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme JTI-CP-FCH - Joint Technology Initiatives - Collaborative Project (FCH) Coordinator IRD FUEL CELLS A/S Address Emil neckelmanns vej 15a 5220 Fraugde Denmark See on map Region Danmark Syddanmark Fyn Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Laila Grahl-Maden (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 449 130,00 Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all STICHTING ENERGIEONDERZOEK CENTRUM NEDERLAND Participation ended Netherlands EU contribution € 92 614,00 Address Westerduinweg 3 1755 LE Petten See on map Region West-Nederland Noord-Holland Kop van Noord-Holland Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Truus Woudstra-Zwiers Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window TEKNOLOGIAN TUTKIMUSKESKUS VTT Finland EU contribution € 337 256,00 Address Tekniikantie 4 a 02044 VTT Espoo See on map Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jaana Heino (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window FUMATECH BWT GMBH Germany EU contribution € 159 813,00 Address Carl benz strasse 4 74321 Bietigheim bissingen See on map Region Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart Ludwigsburg Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Bernd Bauer (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window ABENGOA INNOVACION SOCIEDAD ANONIMA Spain EU contribution € 43 040,00 Address C energia solar 1 campus palmas altas 41014 Sevilla See on map Region Sur Andalucía Sevilla Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Verónica Mesa Vélez-Bracho (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window ABO AKADEMI Finland EU contribution € 72 170,00 Address Domkyrkotorget 3 20500 Abo See on map Region Manner-Suomi Etelä-Suomi Varsinais-Suomi Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Mikko Hupa (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window
