Participation of Switzerland in the Annex XVII of IEA Implementing Agreement "Advanced Fuel Cells" for the years 05 - 08

Publications / Résultats (Anglais)

The project covers participation and representing of Switzerland in IEA implementation agreement Annex XVIII. It involves participation at workshops and gathering and dissemination to the Swiss SOFC community of the gathered information. This year’s main activity was the participation at the Nara Workshop, focusing on degradation mechanisms related to SOFC, and activity overview of member countries program and future planning. The Workshop was linked to the Electrochemical Society meeting X held in Nara, Japan. The attendance was good and information exchanged openly between the participants. On the other hand, there was an open debate whether the Annex activity should become more specific, i.e. gathering bench mark data of the relevant actors for international comparison, or internationally coordinate collaboration on long term degradation issues. Those proposal were refused by USA, Can and Australia, where the topics do not seem (yet) of major interest. Further activity was the participation at the Hydrogen and Fuel cell Platform (HFP) General Assembly in Brussels (10/11th of October). The aim is to place a Swiss candidate at the Joint Technology Initiative on Fuel Cells and Hydrogen in order to stay involved in the long term effort to bring Fuel Cells to the market.
