AEMELIA accepts the challenge to design and prototype AEMEL that meets and surpasses Hydrogen Europe’s 2030 targets for performance, durability,safety and cost. AEMELIA proposes a clear path to reach high current-density (1.5 A cm-2) and low voltage (1.75 V). Energy-efficiency surpassesthe 2030 target (46.9 kWh/kg, or 85% of maximum theoretical efficiency), to make 3 times more H2 with less energy compared to XY. LCOH also outshines 2030 targets at 2.5€/kgH2 (17% lower than 2030 target). The degradation rate meets the 2030 target, enabling a 10-year lifetime. These and other KPIs will be validated via the TRL4 prototype of a 5-cell stack at 100 cm² that will deliver 7.2 Nm3/day of H2 at a purity of 99.9% at 15 bar. The team will develop and test disruptive materials, such as fluorine free ionomers; thin, highly-conducting membranes; PGM-free recombination catalysts; and ionomer-free electrodes. These components are based on earth-abundant, safe materials. They would be fully scalable via existing manufacturing processes. They will be combined in innovate cell designs, taking into account novel flow-field design based on CFD models. Innovative operating conditions such as high operating temperature and pulsed current will increase energy-efficiency while reducing balance of plant (BoP) and will be tested in single cells, as will the use of impure water for improved LCA and cost. Lastly, disruptive methods for AI-based ionomer development and the measurement of the catalytically-active surface area of non-PGM catalysts will be developed. Performance, durability, LCA and cost KPIs will be shared with companies to convince them to invest in upscaling after the project. Partners have many success stories in developing disruptive electrochemical materials and systems and bringing them to market. AEMELIA’s market penetration in 2031 is expected to generate 527 M€ in revenues by 2036, and 1172 kt CO2/year avoided compared to steam methane reforming.

AEMELIA 接受设计和原型 AEMEL 的挑战，满足并超越 Hydrogen Europe 的 2030 年性能、耐用性、安全性和成本目标。 AEMELIA 提出了实现高电流密度 (1.5 A cm-2) 和低电压 (1.75 V) 的明确途径。能源效率超过 2030 年目标（46.9 kWh/kg，或最大理论效率的 85%），使 3与 XY 相比，用更少的能量生产更多的 H2，其降解率达到 2030 年的目标，达到 2.5 欧元/kgH2，从而实现 10 年的使用寿命。通过 100 cm² 5 电池堆的 TRL4 原型进行验证，每天可提供 7.2 Nm3 纯度的氢气该团队将开发和测试颠覆性材料，例如无氟离聚物；不含 PGM 的复合催化剂；以及不含离聚物的电极。它们将通过现有的制造工艺完全可扩展，并结合创新的电池设计，并考虑到基于创新操作模型的新颖流场设计。高工作温度和脉冲电流等条件将提高能源效率，同时降低工厂平衡 (BoP)，并将在单电池中进行测试，使用不纯水来改善 LCA 和成本也是如此。基于离聚物的开发和非铂族金属催化剂催化活性表面积的测量将与公司分享，以说服他们在项目完成后投资升级。 AEMELIA 在开发颠覆性电化学材料和系统并将其推向市场方面有许多成功案例，预计到 2036 年将产生 5.27 亿欧元的收入，与蒸汽甲烷重整相比，每年可减少 1172 吨二氧化碳排放。
