FC4Home

The scope of the FC4Home is to assess technical and economic aspects of the ongoing fuel cell based micro combined heat and power demonstration projects by addressing the socio-economic and systems analyses perspectives of a large-scale promotion scheme of fuel cells. This will be carried out by means of energy systems analysis and studies on central cases for each of the participating partners.

The FC4Home Project is a collaborative project that aims to identify and assess a wide range of promotion schemes that support the promotion of microCHP based on fuel cell technolog (such as feed-in tariffs or investment support). In this project, core goals necessary to ensure the successful deployment of fuel cells will be identified and the most efficient promotion schemes to achieve these goals will be found for each country participating in the initiative (i.e., in Denmark, France and Portugal).

The duration of the project is 2 years. The project is split into eight Work Packages in which each project partners will be in collaboration, to enable an interactive exchange of knowledge. The FC4Home Project partners are Risø-DTU | National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy (Project Coordinator), EIFER - European Institute on Energy Research and Simbiente - Environmental Engineering and Management (i.e., for Denmark, France and Portugal, respectively).

The main goal of this project is to assist in facilitating a successful deployment of microCHP and power fuel cells to the benefit of society and the environment taking into consideration different technologies types of fuel cells and fuels. The implementation of the methodologies for national cases will then highlight the country specific conditions.

The FC4Home is financed by Hyco-ERANET scheme (ref 001/2008) under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).
