Hy-Form: Formic acid - chemical storage of electrical energy and on-site hydrogen production for use in PEM fuel cells

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Future energy supply will be expanded by decentralised production and storage system, for the energy|supplied by sun and wind with fluctuations in capacity and flow. Decentralised systems are needed for the|storage of overproduction and compensation of over demand. Hydrogen will play a role as energy carrier.|In this project a new system is proposed, where hydrogen is stored chemically as formic acid, and produced|on demand in a medium-scale reactor from formic acid for the use in PEM fuel cells.
