The European SWITCH project, in which SolydEra is a Major partner, wins the Energy Globe Award 2023 for Italy.
The European project SWITCH has won the Energy Globe Award 2023 for Italy. The renowned sustainability award was presented yesterday afternoon by the Austrian Commercial Consul, Christoph Plank, to the director of FBK's Sustainable Energy Centre, Luigi Crema, and the project coordinator, Matteo Testi.
SolydEra made a fundamental contribution to SWITCH, developing a complete, reversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer module based on its industrial, next-generation G8X stack platform. The module is capable to continuously (co-) produce hydrogen both when operating as power generator or as Electrolyzer, and can switch the operating mode on demand.
"This award," emphasized Luigi Crema, "is a recognition of the dedication of our researchers and innovators and enhances our collaboration with the company SolydEra in our territory. We thank the European Clean Hydrogen Partnership programme for having financed the SWITCH project with European funds".
Coordinated by FBK researcher Matteo Testi, SWITCH is a Horizon 2020 European project to develop a prototype of an innovative hydrogen production system based on solid oxide cell technology. "The SWITCH system," Testi explains, "will be a hydrogen production technology designed for refuelling stations but also for any industrial user interested in decarbonizing their processes while ensuring their continuity. The news of the SWITCH concept lies in the generation of hydrogen both through electrolysis from renewable resources and through processes with low CO2 emissions, guaranteeing security of supply, as renewable as possible, and also generating electricity and heat'.
"We support the SWITCH project that aims becoming a key technology for a zero-carbon mobility in Europe offering continuous supply of H2 at hydrogen refueling stations and we are very proud for this important award" said Martin Fu?llenbach, SolydEra's Chairman and CEO. "It is another demonstration that SolydEra's Fuel Cell technology is able to deliver both power generation (SOFC) and hydrogen production (SOE) in the same stack, allowing industries to scale important energy projects in various application fields" explained Fu?llenbach.
