H2 Utilisation

Highly efficient ceramic fuel cells are investigated at UT for stationary combined heat and power and mobility applications such as heavy-duty transport and maritime. Both the conventional high temperature (600 - 900 C) oxygen ion conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and the more intermediate temperature (400 - 600 C) proton conducting ceramic fuel cells (PCFC) are in focus with research across all relevant scales, i.e. materials, single cells, multi-cell stacks and systems. Experimental testing and characterization is ably supported by multiscale multiphysics modelling approaches that aim to integrate the information across the scales and drive digital twin development for online health monitoring, predictive maintenance and control. Fuel-flexibility is a key theme, specifically, the long-term performance of SOFCs and PCFCs directly fed with H2 carriers such as methane, methanol and ammonia.

HyDriven aims to prove the potential of hydrogen to accelerate the energy transition towards zero emission. How? By building a hydrogen racecar and participating in Formula Student races. Doing so, they target a broader industry, other student teams and partners. They want to push the boundaries of hydrogen. 

HyDriven want to make the automotive industry and other industries aware of the potential of hydrogen. However, they cannot do this alone, which is why they want to convince other student teams to switch to a hydrogen-powered vehicle and set up a hydrogen class within the Formula Student competition. To realize all this, they collaborate with partners and are always aiming to expand their network.
