Imagine a factory that produces a lot of heat as a byproduct, which usually just disappears into the air. This project uses that wasted heat to help split water into hydrogen gas much more efficiently than using electricity alone. It's like using a pre-heated oven to bake a cake faster and with less energy.
Glass and ceramics industries struggle to decarbonize because electricity alone cannot replace high-temperature heat, and green hydrogen is often too expensive to produce without utilizing existing waste heat.
A modular 220 kW SOEC prototype and a digital suite consisting of Process and Electrolyzer Digital Twins and an Advanced Energy Management System.
If you are a glass producer dealing with high carbon emissions and wasted thermal energy — this project developed a 220 kW SOEC prototype that can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40%.
If you are a ceramics manufacturer dealing with expensive fossil fuel costs — this project developed an Advanced Energy Management System that integrates 120 kW of waste heat to produce green hydrogen.
If you are a consultancy dealing with complex decarbonization roadmaps for clients — this project developed Digital Twins (PDT and EDT) that allow for predictive simulation and optimization of hydrogen systems.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project focuses on ensuring cost-effectiveness through techno-economic reduced-order models.
The project is developing a modular 220 kW prototype to demonstrate scalability, aiming for a replicable pathway for energy-intensive industries.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details on IP or licensing agreements provided in the project description.
The system integrates renewable energy sources, specifically PV, and uses an Advanced Energy Management System for adaptive control.
The project period runs from June 2026 to May 2029, suggesting the validated prototypes will be available toward the end of this window.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 10 industrial partners (77% of the group) and a strong presence of SMEs (9 partners). This suggests a high focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than pure academic research, with a geographical spread across 7 European countries including Spain, Germany, and Slovenia.
