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
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.
ReFuel: Establishing the potential of hydrogen production for waste incineration plants
25-03-2019 | New Project
In a new study, the feasibility of hydrogen production by waste incineration plants will be investigated. The study, part of VoltaChem's Power-2-Hydrogen program line, focuses on the 'ReEnergy' waste incineration plant in Roosendaal. By using about a third of its 20 MW electrical power generation for the production of hydrogen, the plant could substantially contribute to facilitating the energy tr
Huge opportunities for electrolyzer technology in future gigawatt green hydrogen market
24-03-2019 | Event report
On Tuesday, March 12, VoltaChem hosted the workshop 'Developing the supply chain for electrolyzers' at ECN∙TNO in Petten. It provided an outlook on the business opportunities for the European industry in the developing hydrogen market, and on the challenges to overcome in developing water electrolysis technology - especially regarding PEM electrolyzers. Some thirty participants from materials, t
