Strong Public Private Partnership
with Focused Objectives
FCH JU - Objectives



Bring resources together
under a cohesive, long-term
strategy : industry led
public private partnership
Ensure commercial focus by
matching research activities to
industry’s needs and
expectations
Scale-up and intensify links
between Industry and the
Research Community
To accelerate the development of
technology base towards
commercialization from 2015
onwards
FCH JU – Governance structure
THE SET-PLAN
The Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan
is the TECHNOLOGY PILLAR of EU Climate policy (Sustainable development
- Security of supply - Competitiveness )
Details the energy research priorities for 2020 & 2050
Ensures coordination and converging public and private objectives 
overcome fragmentation
Innovation-driven, close to market research with strong industry involvement
and a stable planning framework

Scope
Develop, construct, and test a cost-minimised highly
efficient and durable PEM-Electrolyzer stack aimed for
integration with domestic µCHPs.
Efficient, cost effective PEM electrolyser integrated with
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) will be constructed
and demonstrated.

ELYGRID
Improvements to Integrate High Pressure Alkaline electrolyzers
for Electricity/H2 production from Renewable Energies to Balance the GRID
MAIN OBJECTIVES
• Contribution to the reduction of the total cost of hydrogen
produced via electrolysis
• Focused on megawatt size electrolyzers (from 0,5 MW and
up)
• Work structured in 3 different parts: cell improvements,
power electronics and balance of plant (BOP)
•Two scalable prototype electrolyzers are tested powered
with renewable energies (photovoltaic and wind)
RESelyser
www.reselyser.eu
Hydrogen from RES: pressurised alkaline
electrolyser with high efficiency and wide operating
range
Innovations:
• a new separator membrane with internal electrolyte
circulation and an adapted design of the cell for
improvements at very low and high power
• coated electrodes to improve efficiency and lifetime in
operation with RES
• system architecture adapted to intermittent opera-tion
Total Budget: 2.89 Mio €
FCH Joint Undertaking to continue
under Horizon 2020
FCH technologies are essential for
achieving a low carbon, inclusive
and competitive economy
= EU’s strategic objectives
Great technological progress made,
but significant effort still ahead
– a strong public-private partnership
will enable the shift
Creating stable business
environment, sharing market-entry
risks and introducing adequate
support mechanisms will trigger
private necessary investment
Success of existing programme
creates a strong case for
continuation and strengthening of
FCH Joint Undertaking under
Horizon 2020
FCH Joint Undertaking: second phase?
Financial and technology outlook on
the European sector ambition 20142020 : an industry perspective
• FCH JU 2.0 under Horizon 2020?
• General support from IG/RG
• Links with other EU policies
(structural and regional policies)
• Collaboration with Member
States
