Current projects

Advanced materials for hydrogen storage
The hydrogen storage group integrates theoretical modelling and optimization, synthesis, experimental characterisation and testing of new storage materials and catalytic particles. The primary focus is on complex hydrides, and in particular on understanding and optimizing the structural characteristics of the storage materials and catalytic additives at the nanometer scale
 
Efficient Conversion of Renewable Energy using Solid Oxide Cells
Identification and study of a number of central scientific problems – especially concerning interfaces between the different components in the systems. The economical aspects of the technology is also studied.
 
FCH Test Center
FCH Test Center for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies was established in 2010 at Risø DTU in Denmark. The Test Center cooperates with Danish Gas Technology Center (DGC) and supports the industry with:

  • Testing
  • Training
  • Consultancy
 
HETMOC, Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for Oxy-Combustion

HETMOC is a FP7 project funded by the European Union under the theme: Energy.2010.6.1-1, Efficiency Improvement of Oxygen-Based Combustion.
 
Hi2H2
Make use of the materials and technological developments and apply them to develop and evaluate a planar “High Temperature Electrolyser” or “Solid Oxide Electrochemical Converter” (SOEC).
 
Innovative Solid Oxide Electrolyser Stacks for Efficient and Reliable Hydrogen Production
Relhy is an interdisciplinary project funded by the European Commission within FP7 work programme with clear focus on development of novel or improved, low cost materials (and the associated manufacturing process) for their integration in efficient and durable components for the next generation of electrolysers based on Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC).
 
IP Real SOFC: Realising Reliable, Durable Energy Efficient and Cost Effective SOFC Systems
The aim is to solve the generic problems of ageing with planar SOFCs in a concerted action of the European fuel cell industry and research institutions.
 
OPTIMAC

OPTIMAC stands for Optimized Processing of Multi-material Architectures for functional Ceramics. 
This project is being funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research Technology and Production Sciences (FTP) which is part of The Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (FI) (Project # 09-072888).

 

 
OTE-POWER

OTE-POWER project aims to develop and demonstrate a high-temperature oxide thermoelectric (OTE) module which will be integrated in a thermoelectric generator system.
