Kick-off meeting of SElySOs project

In this context, hydrogen appears to be the key energy carrier for a sustainable energy system, while water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources has been identified as the most ideal method with zero carbon footprint. The four-year research project “SElySOs: Development of new electrode materials & understanding of degradation mechanisms on Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells”, with a total budget of €2.9M funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) (part of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme), aims to advance Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) technology for the cost-effective production of hydrogen via water electrolysis, as well as the production of syngas via simultaneous electrolysis of CO₂ and water in a single device. CERTH contributes to this effort as a member of a 7-partner consortium, aiming to improve the technology and create added value for the energy market.
