Increasing the lifetime of electrolyser stacks

Closed

Code: 27417 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-JTI-CLEANH2-2023-07-02 | Programme name: 27323 | Start submission calls: 31/01/2023 | End submission calls: 18/04/2023

Electrolysers are complex systems in which kinetics, electrochemistry and thermophysics drive performance degradation phenomena.

Durability of electrolyser stacks is affected by various degradation mechanisms occurring at material, interface, cell and stack levels: for instance, high temperature solid oxide cells (SOCs) and proton ceramic cells (PCCs) are susceptible to impurity poisoning, Ni migration and loss of percolation, oxide scale growth on interconnect, mechanical fracture of seals, delamination of electrodes, thermal runaway etc. Low temperature electrolysers, such as PEMEL and AEL are facing ionomer degradation, passivation of porous transport layers, catalyst dissolution and Ostwald ripening, corrosion of carbon support, bipolar plates, degradation of sealing materials, etc. The coupling of these multi-physics fields, occurring simultaneously at various length scales (atomic, nano, micro, macro), makes it challenging to parameterise individual degradation mechanism, and even more challenging, the effects of their combined occurrence. This is even more complicated when flexible operation is required (in part due to the lack of established testing protocols). The project will also build on the results from on-going and newly supported fuel cell and electrolyser projects, as well as projects addressing sustainability. Long term degradation studies (at least 10,000 hours) should be firstly carried out on stacks (new or used) representative of commercial or pre-commercial technologies for PEMEL/SOEL/AEL stacks and in the second stage, also include stack concepts developed jointly between academic and industrial partners for AEMEL/ PCCEL technologies. Study of ageing mechanisms should address degradation due to evolution of materials, interfaces and microstructures when the cells/stacks are operated under real conditions (e.g. as a function of temperature, load, pressure, overvoltage, etc.), as well as degradation mechanisms associated with exposure to impurities e.g. from airborne contaminants and transient operation and upon dynamic operations (e.g. coupling with RES). The work should provide guidelines for defining new solutions at the cell and/or stack level to increase lifetime, as well as optimal operations of the cells/stacks. The new solutions should be demonstrated at short stack level. Furthermore, the emphasis should be given on defining predictive modelling of state-of-health / state-of-life for given operation, and on establishing operation solutions diminishing degradation.

Advanced materials for hydrogen storage tanks

This topic focuses on developing advanced materials to reduce whole life costs and produce lighter solutions for hydrogen storage, whilst developing sustainable circular economy-based components and considering the environmental and social impacts. The hydrogen storage emphasised under this topic covers the form of gas, liquid or cryo-compressed states supporting high-pressure tanks even up to 1,000 bar.

This topic aims to develop a step change, supporting key elements of the long-term needs of hydrogen storage, notably:

• Reduction of whole lifetime costs of hydrogen storage technologies;
• Development of environmentally sustainable and circular storage systems;
• Ensuring the safety of innovative hydrogen storage technologies.

It should also seek integration within a broader energy system, considering elements such as renewable energy production, gas and electricity grid, digitalisation, etc. Technologies demonstrated should be state of the art following technology development previously funded by (but not limited to) the JU.

Pre-Normative Research on the determination of hydrogen releases from the hydrogen value chain

The natural gas industry has for decades been strongly committed to identifying, quantifying, and mitigating gas releases along the entire value chain, from production (extraction) to final uses. In addition, the effects of releases of gases in the environment have been widely studied and assessed, with the aim of limiting the climate-change effects as much as possible.

While methane emissions is a well-known topic, with emission quantification methods/technologies and mitigation strategies defined, the case of hydrogen is different, as there are no indications/guidelines that exhaustively cover all the different elements of the hydrogen value chain. This case requires in-depth analysis, supported by experimental campaigns, in order to understand the potential leakage rates of hydrogen across its value chain and assess the overall hydrogen releases of a large adoption of this energy vector. Proposals should therefore assess the potential hydrogen releases of the future hydrogen value chains.

European Hydrogen Academy

The education focus needs to shift to establishing a large alliance of universities and institutions that can provide certified educational training and continuously update the teaching materials, thus reflecting the rapidly developing area of FCH technologies and actively supplying the education and training necessary. Hydrogen education at schools should be targeted in order to provide FCH technology basics and foster societal awareness and acceptance.

Future work should then concentrate on further developing, translating, and organising the supply and (digital) access to content and training activities at universities, educational institutions and schools and addressing the issue of a joint qualification framework across the EU university ecosystem. For this purpose, solving the issue of portability of e-learning content and its copyright and supporting ease of implementation on any institutional learning management systems is essential. Proposals should show concrete contributions to the Digital Education Action Plan with the aim of greater cooperation at the EU level on digital education and to address the challenges and opportunities of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Product environmental footprint pilot for a set of FCH product categories

This topic addresses the development and application of a set of thorough PEFCRs in the specific field of FCH products according to the latest version of the European Commission’s guidance document for the development of PEFCRs, thereby considering the latest recommendations as regards the PEF method. Accordingly, the main project outcome of the topic will consist of PEFCRs developed for, and applied to, FCH product categories.

Project results are expected to contribute to the following objectives:

• Strengthening the focus on environmental aspects in the framework of the transition to a circular economy – supplying the necessary assessment tools for decision making. In this regard, the results from this topic should facilitate decision-making processes effectively oriented toward environmental aspects in the FCH sector;
• Reinforcing EU’s leadership position and accelerating mass-market adoption of sustainable FCH products – enhancing the sustainability and circularity of FCH technologies to support the ‘EU Strategy on energy system integration’ and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the objectives of the Paris Agreement. In this sense, this topic should provide a sound basis for the potential identification and subsequent promotion of environmentally sustainable FCH products.

Retrofitting of existing industrial sector natural gas turbomachinery cogeneration systems for hydrogen combustion

Technological development of gas turbines combustion systems is aimed to handle incremental percentage of hydrogen blended in the natural gas as fuel. A further step, in accelerating the energy sector decarbonisation, is to provide gas turbine solutions able to be used with their own flexibility in handling fast load changes over the wider range of natural gas / hydrogen blends up to the full hydrogen composition.

In parallel with the incremental hydrogen availability offer expected for the next years, the required final TRL 7 is pushing gas turbine technology and products development to the commercialisation phase and the fleet replacement and/or enhancement by the end users by new engine solutions able to provide with hydrogen/natural gas blends, similar performances of the current natural gas ones.
