Giantleap Improves Automation of Non-polluting Transportation with Lifetime Extension of Automotive PEM fuel cells (Giantleap)
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2019,
Fuel-Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) have been deployed in multiple demonstrations in Europe, Canada and the USA, but they still suffer from high costs and low availability.Oddly enough, the low availability has almost always been due to control issues and hybridisation strategies rather than problems in the fuel cells themselves.Giantleap aims to increase the availability and reduce the total cost of ...

Volume Manufacturing of PEM FC Stacks for Transportation and In-line Quality Assurance (VOLUMETRIQ)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,
The principal aim of the project is to develop an EU-centric supply base for key automotive PEM fuel cell components that achieve high power density and with volume production capability along with embedded quality control as a key focus - to enable the establishment of a mature Automotive PEM fuel cell manufacturing capability in Europe. It will exploit existing EU value adding competencies and s ...

Metal supported SOFC technology for stationary and mobile applications (METSAPP)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"State of the art SOFC technology for stationary as well as for transportation application is to date being demonstrated with either planar or tubular ceramic anode-supported or electrolyte-supported SOFC cells. However, the SOFC technology faces many challenges when it comes to commercialization, since cost reduction, reliability and extended lifetime is required. In order to improve durability a ...

STAble and low cost Manufactured bipolar plates for PEM Fuel Cells (STAMPEM)
Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
"One key component in the PEMFC which contributes significantly to cost, weight, volume of the stacks and still needs to be improved to ensure cell lifetime is the BiPolar Plate (BPP). Metal based bipolar plates are very attractive, but a protective coating is needed to avoid corrosion and keep the interfacial contact resistance low.The STAMPEM-consortium has been established acknowledging that fu ...
