Objective "If we consider a new energy framework, based on the concepts of sustainability, energy security using local resources, maximization of the exergy efficiency of the whole system, a possible solution could be based on the following criteria:• Combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) plants;• Small-medium size plants locally distributed;• Plants with maximization of the energy recovery from the primary sources: maximum exergy efficiency of the whole system;• Flexibility in the use of local primary sources (biogas, bio-syngas, bio-fuels);• Easy and efficient CO2 separation from the plant exhaustAmong the technologies which could satisfy these criteria, a new technology is gaining more and more interest: energy systems based on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) which, in the medium term, could become one of the most interesting technologies able to address the above criteria.The proposal is an applied research project devoted to demonstrate the technical feasibility and the energy and environmental advantages of CCHP plants based on SOFC fed by different typologies of biogenous primary fuels (locally produced), also integrated by a process for the CO2 separation from the anode exhaust gases.The research activity will address the scientific, technical, economical management of two proof-of-concepts of complete energy systems based on SOFCs, through real in-field demonstration units. Several issues will be pointed out, like high efficiency integration designs, impact of pollutants on SOFC and fuel processing units, gas cleaning, operation in CCHP configuration, carbon sequestration module.The activities developed by each Partner, in the different areas of the proposed research, have the ultimate goal of assembling, testing and validate the two proof-of-concept systems.In order to guarantee the success of the Demonstration activity, it is also integrated with: Lab-scale Activities (preliminary to the real demonstration activities); Conceptual and Analysis Activities" Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfuel cellsengineering and technologyindustrial biotechnologybiomaterialsbiofuels Programme(s) FP7-JTI - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Joint Technology Initiatives Topic(s) SP1-JTI-FCH.2010.3.4 - Proof-of-concept and validation of integrated fuel cell systems Call for proposal FCH-JU-2010-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme JTI-CP-FCH - Joint Technology Initiatives - Collaborative Project (FCH) Coordinator POLITECNICO DI TORINO Address Corso duca degli abruzzi 24 10129 Torino Italy See on map Region Nord-Ovest Piemonte Torino Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Massimo Santarelli (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (10) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all TEKNOLOGIAN TUTKIMUSKESKUS VTT Participation ended Finland EU contribution € 0,00 Address Tekniikantie 4 a 02044 VTT Espoo See on map Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jari Kiviaho (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TEKNOLOGIAN TUTKIMUSKESKUS VTT OY Finland EU contribution € 413 870,00 Address Tekniikantie 21 02150 Espoo See on map Region Manner-Suomi Helsinki-Uusimaa Helsinki-Uusimaa Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jari Kiviaho (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TOPSOE FUEL CELL A/S Participation ended Denmark EU contribution € 251 842,80 Address Nymoellevej 55 2800 Lyngby See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Lars Martiny (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data Società Metropolitana Acque Torino S.p.A.
