IEA AFC Annex 33: Stationary Applications (Working period 2019 - 2022)
The future energy system will be strongly characterized by decentralized and renewable power generation. The use of fuel cells (FCs) can contribute to energy and environmental policy objectives. This project investigated whether a market transition from successful international demonstration plants to commercial plants is possible. The potential applications of fuel cells in the building sector and across energy communities and climate-neutral neighbourhoods were investigated.
IEA TCP AFC Annex 33: Fuel Cells for Stationary Applications (Working period 2022 - 2024)
The development of the energy system is characterized in particular by increasing decentralized power generation from renewable energy sources. Hydrogen is a key energy source for the decarbonization of buildings, mobility and industry. In 2022, Austria took on a sub-task in the IEA AFC TCP, which is investigating the use of stationary fuel cells in climate-neutral neighbourhoods. The project analyses its success factors and limitations and tests modelling tools.
