Prometeo is a European Horizon 2020 project that aims to design, construct and test an innovative prototype to produce renewable hydrogen from solar power.
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.
The Consortium met today remotely to discuss the progress of the project. The design and modelling of the system is ongoing, the 25 kWe SOE stack construction is in progress and the communication activities have started.
The Prometeo project has a new look! The restyling of the visual identity features Prometeo as a unique and distinctive brand in the plethora of European H2020 projects on hydrogen.
The kick-off meeting of Prometeo has been attended remotely by all partners that presented the plan and activities to undertake over the next 42 months of the project.
