Fuel cells

Tender description

With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and is looking to procure and integrate into a mini-grid system a range of bioenergy and renewable energy generating equipment Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), fuel cells and electrolysers. Hydrogen is a fundamental element in the transition to low carbon (or hydrogen) economy and hydrogen generation will form a key part of the integrated infrastructure in the centre. The hydrogen generated will be utilised as fuel for a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell alongside other applications. Therefore, as part of the equipment portfolio, we are looking to procure a 30-35 kW PEM fuel cell system. The PEM fuel cell system will support our extensive current and future research activities in low carbon energy generation, integrated energy systems and hydrogen economy. As part of the equipment portfolio, we are looking to procure a 20-35 kW PEM fuel cell system.
