Improved components and tools to increase the safety of electrolysers
Funds research into components and monitoring tools that make low-temperature water electrolysers safer to operate.
This topic draws EUR 3 million from a shared EUR 105 million headline funding line that repeats identically across roughly twenty other Clean Hydrogen JU topics in the same call - the 105 million figure is the call's total, not money for this topic alone. Costs are funded as a lump sum rather than reimbursed against actual spending, a rule that applies across every topic in this call. Activities a…
This call funds development of improved components and integrated monitoring tools that raise the safety of low-temperature water electrolysers, addressing risks from hydrogen and oxygen mixing during start-up, shutdown and dynamic load changes. Proposals should cover conventional and emerging electrolyser architectures, validating stacks for at least 1,000 hours under diverse operating regimes against harmonised EU safety protocols.
