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 30-35kW 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.
