SOFC4GreenGrID is a joint project with Regenera, IDEA, VODIK, GreenGrouping for the development of a novel system for converting green hydrogen into electricity with powers of up to 50 kW, including the assembly of SOFC modules up to the desired power, plant balance and optimization of operating parameters in real environments.
MARBLE
Contact: Miguel A. Laguna-Bercero
Funds: EUROGIA (EU)
MARBLE is a joint project with GreenGrouping and LENTATEK (Turkey) to develop a portable energy system based on microtubular SOFCs with future decrease in energy cost by increasing conversion efficiency and low carbon emissions.
EUMEM
Contact: Rosa I. Merino
Funds: MINECO (Spain)
The EUMEM project seeks to develop selective CO2 transport membranes based on molten carbonates supported by oxides with special focus on the Mechanisms and advance the Fabrication Technology. These devices are efficient and very selective to separate CO2 from gas mixtures at temperatures in the range of 600 to 800 ºC, in pre- or postcombustion processes.
