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.
Francesca Panaccione, researcher at the Center for Sustainable Energy at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, presented the the work entitled “Testing and characterization of a 5 kW SOE stack: full load, partial load and hot-standby mode analysis” within the session High temperature electrolysis.
