The FCH JU highlights at Hannover Messe 2016
The Hannover Messe is the world's biggest international trade fair for industrial technology with an estimated attendance of 200,000 participants and 5,000 exhibitors.
FCH JU traditionally joins this important trade fair, this year with the participation of the Executive director, Phillippe Vannson, in the Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Batteries public forum on Tuesday 26th April. He joined the podium discussion “Hydrogen + Fuel Cells activities in the USA and in Europe” at 14:00. Watch the discussion here.
Some of FCH JU funded projects will be present at the fair.
ene.field project, Europe’s large scale fuel cell micro-CHP deployment field trial, showcases its latest milestones and results at this year’s Hannover Messe. The latest updates from ene.field have been presented on Monday 25th April in Hall 27 in two sessions in the Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Batteries Public Forum, at 13:40, and Technical Forum, at 15:00. You can watch the Public forum discussion here.
The SAPPHIRE project is close to a conclusion. The consortium participates at the Hannover Fair, to present the final results and disseminate the scientific and technical advancements. During the technical forum, on Monday, April 25, at 15:40, the coordinator presented an overview of the main results to open the discussion with experts.
SAPPHIRE prototype of a micro CHP system integrating the forecast of the system lifetime in real operating conditions will be exhibited as well as posters illustrating the project partners’ contribution along with flyers and brochures. The consortium will be present at the booth D37 during the whole week to discuss with visitors and answer questions.
The project Don Quichote deals with the integration of ‘renewable electricity’ and ‘hydrogen’ into the mainstream. On Tuesday 26 April at 10: 00 the project will be presented at the Technical forum during “FCH JU project Don Quichote linking wind power with electrolyser tech. to power FC forklift trucks”. The presentation will include information on the project setup, technical description and key intermediate results up-to- date. Don Quichote promotional material will be available at the European Hydrogen Association’s stand, booth C53. You can watch the presentation here.
The HyResponse project aims at establishing the World’s first comprehensive training programme for first responders to facilitate safer deployment of FCH systems and infrastructure. It will be presented during the Technical forum on Thursday 28 April at 10:40 in the “HyResponse project: recently finalized emergency response training” followed by Q& A.
The Power Up project sets out to demonstrate, for the first time, automated, scaled-up manufacture of a competitive 500 kWe alkaline fuel cell system from cost-effective and recyclable components. The latest developments of the project will be presented in the Technical forum on Thursday, 28 April at 12:40 during the presentation “Update in a large scale industrial FC: the Power Up project”.
KnowHY aims to train technicians and workers in the field of Fuel cells and Hydrogen with theoretical as well as hands-on learning. The targeted audience are technicians, workers and professionals in general with a practical knowledge in installation, maintenance and operation of hydrogen and fuel cell applications. Customized courses and modules target individual applications such as residential CHP, FCEV, HRS, distributed generation or back-up systems. To learn more about this project, join the presentation “Virtual training models for technical training: the KnowHy project” on Thursday 28 April in the Technical forum.
H2ME project partners H2ME partners Air Liquide, AREVAH2Gen, H2Logic, H2 Mobility Deutchland, ITM Power, Linde AG, McPhy and Symbio FCell invite visitors to their stands. H2ME partners will be present at Hannover Messe 2016 with a number of them showcasing their technologies. In addition, ITM Power will be showcasing its entire electrolyser system for visitors to see how the electrolyser can take excess renewable energy and water to generate hydrogen gas for energy storage and clean fuel applications. The plant on display is funded by FCH JU and is part of the H2ME project.
The H2ME project aims at expanding and developing networks of HRS and the fleets of fuel cell vehicles operating on European roads, to significantly expand the activities in each country and start the creation of a pan-European hydrogen fuelling station network.
