Microbial fuel cell – used in direct conversion of lignocellulosic waste to energy

“The Research project on Microbial fuel cell – used in direct conversion of lignocellulosic waste to energy” (MFC project) is a national research project bringing together 3 research groups to study bacterial production of electricity from waste streams.

 
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).
 
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).
 
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.

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.
 
Magnetic refrigeration
Magnetic refrigeration is a new and exciting technology that can be used to create low noise energyefficient cooling with environmentally friendly materials.
 
Electrochemical flue gas purification
Electrochemical flue gas purification is a method to clean different flue gasses for e.g. nitrogen oxides (NOX), soot and hydrocarbons. Electrochemical cells of the solid oxide type can be used to purify flue gasses (in particular diesel exhaust gasses) at a higher efficiency.
