1 MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND RESEARCH NATIONAL AUTHORITY FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH The Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technology Platform in Romania Dr. Vasile STANCIU ICIT Rm. Valcea 7 th Meeting of Mirror Group September 09, Brussels

2 Outline of presentation The Romanian Paltform for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells New launched research programme Why the Romania joins the Hy-CO Project?

3 The Romanian Paltform for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. In November 2004, the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research promoted the Sectorial Plan of Research & Development which aims are the support of Romanian economy competitiveness and the preparing of integrating in the European research space and accessing EU. Developing a Hydrogen and Fuel Cells R&D Integrated Platform is one of the Sectorial Plan projects. The financial support, of 351,000, is provided by the Ministry of Education and Research 270,000, and by the partners themselves 81,000.

5 Platform Coordination Materials for Hydrogen storage Polymers PEMFC Development, Hydrogen by Reforming, Catalysts, Experimental Pilot Materials for SOFC Hydrogen from Biomass, Bio-fuels Hydrogen from Biomass

6 CHALLENGES Hydrogen production via reforming Hydrogen storage on metal hydrides Hydrogen purification Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Numerical simulation of fuel cells using FLUENT New energy sources Development of a new fuel cell based on in situ galvanic combustion of H2S from Black Sea

7 Extension of Hydrogen Platform Hydrogen from Biomass Energy potential of H2S from Black Sea Deep Waters. Development of a new fuel cell based on in situ galvanic combustion of H2S Compressed, liquid storage, hydrides and nano-structures Distribution and supply Strategies, regulations, specifications, standardization, safety and quality

8 New launched research programme A new Research of Excellence Programme was launched on 1st June 2005 by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research (the maximum budget for a project is 417,000 ) One of the main research domain is the energy: - Hydrogen and Fuel Cells; - Renewable electricity generation; - Renewables for heating and cooling; - CO 2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation; - Smart energy networks; - Energy efficiency and savings.

9 Why the Romania joins the Hy-CO Project? Use the real value of Romanian resources; Generate of knowledge and the technologies to guarantee an efficient power system; Exchange of information on research results and best practices; Exchange of national experience in promoting H2/FC technologies; Contacts and cooperation with HFP Steering Panels and Initiative Groups, like the Strategic Research Agenda, the Development Strategy, Education and Training, Regulations Codes Standars in order to commonly create of sustainable structures for European H2-FC RD&D competitiveness; Identification of financial sources; A positive effect on the number of young researchers and doctoral students in H2-FC science and technology; Develop and promote of new technologies in order to protect the biodiversity of Black Sea basin by intensive using of H2S in a new fuel cell based on in situ galvanic combustion of H2S.
