3 What is Fuel Cell micro-cogeneration? 3

4 Fuel Cell micro-cogeneration is a highly efficient home energy system that simultaneously produces heat and electricity Why Fuel Cell micro-cogeneration? Empowers consumers Supports the European energy transition Provides greater flexibility for the energy system Fosters innovation and high-value jobs 4

5 The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union s 7th Framework Programme (FP7/ ) for the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking Technology Initiative under Grant Agreement Number PACE project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Research.

6 From research to mass market Mass market Prototypes

7 Introduction to ene.field project Large European demonstration of Fuel Cell micro-cogeneration for private homes and small commercial buildings. Project duration: ,046 units in 10 countries More than 5.5 million hours of operation, 4.5 GWh of power produced Analyses: Customer satisfaction performance, barriers, environmental LCA, cost analysis, smart grid capability...

9 Customer satisfaction Surveys show that more than 90% of end users are pleased with the environmental performance, the comfort and warmth and running costs of their fuel cell micro-cogeneration unit 9

10 Micro-Cogeneration delivers important distribution network cost reductions Micro-Cogeneration distribution network cost reductions per kw installed ( ) Up to 31 GW micro-cogeneration potential in bn in avoided grid investments associated with micro-chp From Benefits of Widespread Deployment of Fuel Cell micro-chp in Securing and Decarbonising the Future European Electricity System authored by Imperial College London Up to 28% of EU s projected grid reinforcements needs potentially delivered by micro- Cogeneration 10

11 Environmental Life Cycle Assessment CO 2 eq. savings compared to Gas Condensing Boiler LCA: Generally less green house gas emission from FC micro-cogeneration than from gas condensing boiler or heat pump solutions Higher benefits for higher utilisation of the fuel cell Higher benefits for more carbon intentisve power mixes [T.M. Bachmann, F. Carnicelli, P. Preiss, 2017]

12 Potential CO 2 emission reductions Reduction in emissions (million tonnes of CO2/year) CO 2 emissions savings across Europe in 2030: More than 32 mil tonnes equivalent to 25% of Belgium s emissions in 2015 equivalent total yearly emissions of more than 5,3 million cars AT BE DE DK ES FR GB IT NL PL RO

14 PACE at a glance 8 Partners > 2,500 Fuel Cell micro- Cogeneration units 10 Countries 5 Years 90m Total budget > 10,000 FC micro-cogeneration units/year post 2020

15 Towards a mass market uptake Reduce costs and improve competitiveness Improve products performance Establish Fuel-Cell micro-cogeneration as a standard technology Raise awareness on Fuel-Cell micro- Cogeneration Demonstrate product readiness as a key component in the delivery of EU s energy goals

16 Conclusion Micro-Cogeneration technology works - robust and reliable End-users are satisfied Environmental benefits Large-scale production will bring costs down Working on next generation systems enefield.eu pace-energy.eu 16
