Objectives

Project ELHYPORT is an integral approach for the development and use of hydrogen fuel cells in real applications, tackling new materials, electrocatalysis, components, devices, and systems. The specific objectives are:

  • Porous layers for better transport of water and gases in gas diffusion electrodes.
  • Integrated collector-gas diffusion electrode structures.
  • New fuel cell designs with increased portability.
  • Development of an intelligent electronics as Energy Management System.
  • Integration of hydrogen fuel cells in low power and portable applications.
  • Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) of the hydrogen fuel cell system.
