GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The following activities should be within the scope of this topic:

• Hydrogen fuelled system design and development utilising existing fuel cell stack manufacturing technologies;
• Analysis of impurities in hydrogen coming from renewable hydrogen generators, storage and other sources (expected impurities to be considered are CO, odorants, CH4, N2, CO2, ethane and propane with total content up to 5%) and development of impurity-tolerant system;
• Quantification of degradation in fuel cells and BoP components, and the effect of operation parameters on degradation at different impurity level and operational cycles;
• Risk assessment of safety aspects in relation to the future certification of the system and techno-economical assessment for a selected application;
• System operation with commercially available and affordable hydrogen with major impurities/contaminants including state of health monitoring;
• Dynamic modelling of system performance on hydrogen and hydrogen blends (if reasonable for the application selected) and system dynamic load and transient behaviour operation according to the end-user load profile(s) for selected application(s).
