© SCHARR When house owners need a new heating system and oil is no longer an option due to environmental concerns, then a gas heating system is considered in most cases. In combination with a fuel cell system, heating with gas becomes even more efficient and eco-friendly. Recently, PACE partner [...]
Picture by Tobias Koch The PACE project interviewed Dr. Anja Weisgerber, Member of the German Bundestag and Climate Policy Coordinator of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group. From 2004 to 2013, Mrs Weisgerber was a Member of the European Parliament focusing on, among other things, environmental affairs. 1. What should be the [...]
From 12 to 14 November 2019, the PACE project was invited to exhibit the Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration technology in the EU Projects Zone at the POWERGEN Europe event in Paris (France). POWERGEN Europe is one of the largest energy fairs and events in Europe with more than 18,000 energy experts, [...]
PACE is organising a workshop to explore the potential of Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration to balance the grid and avoid extensions when the units are deployed as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration organised as VPP provides demand response services, and as such offers the flexibility of its load [...]
Ene-Farm, the highly successful Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration (FC micro-CHP) programme in Japan, has just reached another milestone: 300,000 units have been deployed in the country to date. Initially, the Japanese government provided via the Ene-Farm programme a subsidy covering nearly half of the product cost. Subsidies have been gradually reduced [...]
This week, the PACE Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration manufacturers are at the ISH fair in Frankfurt (Germany) to demonstrate how fuel cells and hydrogen will power and heat our houses and small businesses. At the fair, we are witnessing a high interest from installers, end-users and the wider energy community for [...]
Japan is the world-wide leading country in developing and deploying Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration. As a highly industrialised country consuming large amounts of energy and possessing few natural resources, Japan is diversifying its energy system and increasing its efficiency. These efforts were intensified following the Fukushima disaster. The development of hydrogen [...]
The French Hydrogen Plan, which was announced on 1 June 2018, features the launch of a demonstration trial in France with 50 Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration units. ADEME, the French Environment & Energy Management Agency, and GRDF, the French gas distribution company, coordinate this ambitious project. The three-year trial takes place [...]
Liquified Petrol Gas (LPG) has many purposes. It is widely used in transport, industry, and home appliances. Today, LPG can be combined with Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration and bring efficient heat and electricity to homes not connected to the gas grid. LPG in combination with Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration reduces energy costs [...]
Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration is a technology with great potential to help address the challenges of the energy trilemma - the ability to provide secure and low-carbon energy at affordable prices. Fuel cells run on hydrogen and produce heating and electricity on location. The use of Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration heavily reduces [...]
