Next steps in Solid Oxide Electrolysis
01-11-2019 | New Project
VoltaChem researchers are developing the next generation of Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) cells at TNO’s Faraday lab in Petten. SOE technology offers great opportunities for large scale hydrogen production, renewable energy storage and, in particular, for electrification of the chemical industry. A unique feature is the co-electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide, resulting in the generation of
The materials issue of hydrogen production
31-10-2019 | P2Hydrogen
Producing adequate amounts of hydrogen is crucial to establishing a fully sustainable energy supply and producing sustainable chemical products. But the scale of the energy system can pose important problems. One important issue is the availability of raw materials for large-scale production of hydrogen through electrolysis. In a current Voltachem study, the scale of this problem is being quantifi
New facilities for hydrogen research: The Faraday Lab
10-10-2019 | New Project
Developed with 6-million-euro funding from the Dutch national scheme for Electrochemical Conversion & Materials, the new Faraday Lab in Petten is a significant extension of the facilities of TNO. It is dedicated to working on innovative solutions together with industrial partners, in the development and testing of materials and components for all relevant electrolyzer technologies: PEM, SOE, AEM a
Power-2-Fuels: New innovation project brings application of e-fuels closer
30-09-2019 | Event report
Together with 9 partners from the industry and mobility sectors, VoltaChem, TNO, SmartPort, and Deltalinqs have recently started the Power-2-Fuels innovation project. During the kick-off on 30 September 2019) all parties involved were present. In this project the demand for synthetic fuels from an end-user perspective will be analyzed, applicable technologies will be compared and a design for poss
First Community of Practice meeting in Power-2-Chemicals attracts international audience
04-08-2019 | Event report
At the first VoltaChem Community of Practice (CoP) meeting on Power-2-Chemicals, held 17 June at the TNO premises in Delft, an international audience was brought up-to-date on the 'Opportunities of using electrochemistry in chemical production'. Hosted by Prof. Earl Goetheer, VoltaChem's technical lead in Power-2-Chemicals, the meeting was informative and sparked a lively debate.
NextGenP2H2: paving the way for a full-scale Dutch PEM electrolyzer
22-07-2019 | New Project
Friday 13 September the 50 kW PEM electrolyzer test system will be revealed and started up at the Faraday Lab in Petten. Within NextGenP2H2 project, the PEM technology will be optimized in view of low cost and high performance, thus paving the way for further development of a full-scale Dutch MW PEM electrolyzer.
