Hydrogen PROduction by MEans of solar heat and power in high TEmperature Solid Oxide Electrolysers
The Prometeo’s prototype will be based on high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) coupled with an innovative thermal energy storage (TES).
TES will optimize the use of intermittent solar heat in hydrogen production, making sure the heat stays hot enough to drive the solid oxide electrolysis at low-cost and high efficiency. The Prometeo prototype will consider three industrial applications as end-users.
Consortium
The Prometeo project brings together world-leading and highly experienced industrial and research partners from 4 European States: Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
SME technology manufacturer
Company firm
Large companies in the energy and chemical sectors
