The purpose of the event was to contribute to [...]
As the European Union (EU) embarks on an ambitious decarbonisation journey in the framework of the European Green Deal, the buildings sector has an important contribution to make towards reaching energy and climate objectives. In 2020, the European Commission presented its Renovation Wave strategy, which aims to improve the energy [...]
Fuel Cell micro-CHP systems have the potential to support electricity grids by providing flexibility. When a number of Fuel Cell micro-CHP units are connected together they can be turned into a virtual power plant (VPP) that provides electricity to the grid during periods when power supplies from other sources (including [...]
The PACE partners are proud to welcome HEXIS as the 6th equipment manufacturer to participate in the project, following the conclusion of an agreement with the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. The Swiss-German company HEXIS is now able to market its Leonardo micro-CHP1 system to homeowners and small businesses with a more [...]
A survey on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells is the project’ tool choosen to validate the perception on the ComSos objectives. The goal is collecting opinions in order to understand the awarness on this technology. The survey is available in italian and english, browsing the link within the “Comsos” section of the website.
Since 2020, Ralph N. from Singen (Germany) is the proud owner of a SenerTec Dachs 0.8 fuel cell unit. He and his family can now generate their own heat and electricity in a very efficient way for their 280 square meters single-family house. Furthermore, the family successfully refurbished their house [...]
In a drive to reduce their energy costs and emissions, the Belgian family Van den Eynde decided to switch from their old heating system to a fuel cell system. The PACE project had the privilige to interview them: Why did you want to put a fuel cell and not just [...]
