Our objectives
We aim to contribute to a sustainable and low-emission European society by reducing the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) through the development and demonstration of a 50kW low-temperature alkaline water electrolysis system capable of operating at pressures more than 50bar.
High-efficiency
stack development
Thorough stack components development and qualification with an emphasis on non-noble metals utilisation.
Pressure vessel
stack concept
Development of a pressure vessel stack reaching more than 50bar operation pressures – dual-stage pressurization concept.
BOP and auxiliary
optimization and qualifications
Balance of Plant (BOP) design addressing challenges of a high-pressure operation.
Technology
demonstration
Assembling and operating an innovative alkaline electrolysis system > 50kW with staged pressure handling more than 50bar.
Integration concept
with downstream chemical plants
Concept of an effective further use of the PEACE-produced hydrogen in a chemical plant hydrogen piping network to serve the key downstream processes.
Reduction of capital
costs per system
Reducing the capital costs of a hydrogen production unit.
