Objective
Strong effort on research and development on the SOFC technology has lead to production of system prototypes for demonstration but no commercial prototypes or even commercial units based on the SOFC technology will be produced in Europe by 2004-2005. The main issues for fast commercialisation of fuel cells remain the high manufacturing cost and the life duration of the system. Today, we can assume that to manufacture an SOFC generating 1 kW, it is necessary to spend about 3000Euros. In order to use widely SOFC the price of 1 kW be at least below 1500Euros. The aim of this project lies in developing SOFC stacks by using new deposition techniques (High Velocity Oxi-Fuel (HVOF) spraying and High Frequency Pulse Detonation Spraying (HFPD)) that are cheaper techniques that the one used today for manufacturing fuel cells, in order to decrease the SOFC manufacturing costs.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
