Project Description
This project will focus on non grid connected electricity generation/heat/car charging solution in collaboration with Láidir Circular Mobility Ltd. The research work will focus on methanol synthesis process and its use in electricity generation for household use in remote and isolated areas, that is, development of non grid connected electricity generation for heat and car charging solution.
Watt and kilowatt high temperature fuel cell systems which incorporate methanol to hydrogen reforming is a mature and successful market in electricity production in marine and telecommunication and lately mobility applications.
The challenge is to move from the maximum of 200-300kW systems which are normally made up of 5 kW units which adds weight and complexity to these solutions to systems that can deliver scalable to megawatt electricity solutions which fit in container environments for use as mobile, marine or stationary power production entities.
By identifying the scalable unit size and producing a new membrane which will last longer than the current 10,000 hours operating lifespan to a target of 30,000, new markets will be available for Hydrogen reforming technologies.
