AFC Energy plc confirms the sale of a bespoke 100kW H-Power alkaline fuel cell system to Forschungszentrum Jülich for deployment at its Living Lab Energy Campus ("LLEC") showcase in Germany. The German Government's National Hydrogen Strategy, launched in June 2020, highlights the key role Hydrogen is expected to play in the full decarbonisation of the country's energy market. With over €9bn of new investment planned for the sector, Germany's expectation of becoming a global leader in the field has seen an immediate growth in opportunities for technologies that support this brief, to commence delivery of the Government's aspiration that sees Hydrogen as a fundamental enabler to the transition away from an emissions based energy sector to a net zero sustainable industrialised economy. In this context, Jülich, as a member institute of Germany's renowned Helmholtz Association of Research Institutes, has devised a European first Living Lab Energy Campus at its site in Western Germany to articulate a blueprint for the design of smart technology based, sustainable energy systems for distributed microgrid applications. Microgrids and "Smart Cities" are seen by many of the world's largest energy system operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as the cornerstone of the world's transition away from large, high cost, centralised energy generation models, and therefore, establishing the role of Hydrogen within this architecture is an important objective of Jülich's high profile initiative. The LLEC will integrate, across a new "Smart" IT platform an integrated operation of renewable energies with technologies from the Hydrogen sector (generation, storage and power generation) to offer real time analysis into novel energy supply and control strategies for deployment across future Smart Cities.
