Project description DEENESFRITPL Novel solid-state hydrogen storage facilitating the energy transition Energy storage is essential to the full exploitation of renewable energy sources given their intermittent availability. Hydrogen has the highest energy density of all known substances, about three times higher than diesel or gasoline. However, in the gas state, the volumetric density of hydrogen is very low and a strong compression is necessary to store it, with significant energy consumption. The EU-funded HyCARE project is developing a novel way to store hydrogen in the solid-state, using metal hydrides. It will also store energy as heat through phase change materials, boosting energy resources and efficiency. The combined solid-state hydrogen and heat storage tanks will be integrated with technology to both produce hydrogen for storage and use it. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The main objective of the HyCARE project is the development of a prototype hydrogen storage tank with use of a solid-state hydrogen carrier on large scale. The tank will be based on an innovative concept, joining hydrogen and heat storage, in order to improve energy efficiency of the whole system. The developed tank will be installed in the site of ENGIE LAB CRIGEN, which is a research and operational expertise center dedicated to gas, new energy sources and emerging technologies. The center and its 350 staff are located at Plaine Saint-Denis and Alfortville in the Paris Region (F). In particular, the solid-state hydrogen tank will be installed in a Living Lab aimed to develop and explore innovative energy storage solutions. The developed tank will be joined with a PEM electrolyzer as hydrogen provider and a PEM fuel cell as hydrogen user.The following goals are planned in HyCARE:- High quantity of stored hydrogen >= 50 kg- Low pressure < 50 bar and low temperature < 100°C- Low foot print, comparable to liquid hydrogen storage- Innovative design- Hydrogen storage coupled with thermal energy storage- Improved energy efficiency- Integration with an electrolyser (EL) and a fuel cell (FC)- Demonstration in real application- Improved safety- Techno-economical evaluation of the innovative solution- Analysis of the environmental impact via Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)- Exploitation of possible industrial applications- Dissemination of results at various levels- Engagement of local people and institution in the demonstration site Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringheat engineeringengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfuel cells Keywords Metal hydride hydorgen storage coupled with thermal energy storage integration with electrolyzer and fuel cells Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.3. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Secure, clean and efficient energy Main Programme H2020-EU.3.3.8.2. - Increase the energy efficiency of production of hydrogen mainly from water electrolysis and renewable sources while reducing operating and capital costs, so that the combined system of the hydrogen production and the conversion using the fuel cell system can compete with the alternatives for electricity production available on the market Topic(s) FCH-02-5-2018 - Hydrogen carriers for stationary storage of excess renewable energy Call for proposal H2020-JTI-FCH-2018-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO Net EU contribution € 231 800,00 Address Via giuseppe verdi 8 10124 Torino Italy See on map Region Nord-Ovest Piemonte Torino Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (10) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all Third-party Legal entity other than a subcontractor which is affiliated or legally linked to a participant.
