The ADEL project targets the development of cost-competitive, energy efficient and sustainable hydrogen production based on renewable energy sources. For such an ambitious target the project is built on a two scales parallel approach:
- At the stack level, the adaptation and development of cell, interconnect/coating and sealing components for ITSE operation conditions (T down to 600°C) aims at increasing the electrolyser durability.
- At the system level, the development of flow sheets to analyse and quantify the coupling between the electrolyser unit (based on obtained stack data at 600°C) and renewable heat and power sources aims at identifying the most energy efficient solutions.
