About the Fuel Cell Activities at Risø

Research on fuel cells have been carried out at Risø since the 1980s. In 1989 the Danish SOFC research was consolidated in the project DK-SOFC with Risø as project leader. A long term collaboration with the Danish company Haldor Topsøe A/S led to a formal agreement in 2001 to develop and commmercialize the Danish SOFC technology. Haldor Topsøe's SOFC activities was transferred in 2004 to the wholly owned subsidiary Topsoe Fuel Cell A/S. In 2006 Risø and Topsoe Fuel Cell signed a new five year partnership agreement. As a result of the continued growth in Risø's activities, a new department for Fuel Cells and Solid State Chemistry was created in 2006.

Our strategy is based on doing technological development in parallel with fundamental research.
