2. 1. Hydrogen Generation for Fuel Cells in Auxiliary Power Systems

   Author : Marita Nilsson; Lars J. Pettersson; Gunther Kolb; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; autothermal reforming; auxiliary power unit; diesel; dimethyl ether; fuel cell; fuel-flexible reformer; hydrogen; PdZn alloy; reforming catalyst; reformer design; Rh; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Heavy-duty trucks are in idle operation during long periods of time, providing the vehicles with electricity via the alternator at standstill. Idling trucks contribute to large amounts of emissions and high fuel consumption as a result of the low efficiency from fuel to electricity. READ MORE

4. 2. Life cycle navigation through future energy carriers and propulsion options for the energy transition in shipping

   Author : Fayas Malik Kanchiralla; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental impact; life cycle costing; battery electric; fuel cells; electro-fuel; technical feasibility; economic impact; hydrogen; life cycle assessment; carbon capture; marine fuel; engines; ammonia; carbon abatement cost; shipping; methanol;

   Abstract : The shipping industry's heavy reliance on fossil fuels has a detrimental effect on the global climate, human health, and the natural environment. The shipping sector now relies on the use of cheap and energy-dense heavy fuel oil and is perceived as ‘difficult-to-decarbonize’. READ MORE

5. 3. Electrocatalyst materials for low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells

   Author : Gerard Montserrat Siso; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Catalyst; Alloys.; Oxygen Reduction; Nanofabrication; Electrode; Fuel Cell; PEMFC; Hydrogen Oxidation; Model System; Thin Film; AEMFC;

   Abstract : Fuel cells have emerged as an alternative to satisfy the need of energy systems with net-zero emissions. Although fuel cells date back to the 1800s, it is only during the last decades that research and development has enabled true commercialization. READ MORE

6. 4. Co-Evolution of Technology, Markets and Institutions - the Case of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology in Europe

   Author : Stian Nygaard; CIRCLE; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Innovation; fuel cells; market development; hydrogen; industrial dynamics; business development; innovation policy; Europe;

   Abstract : The birth, growth and maturity of industries, sectors and technologies have spurred the curiosity of researchers as well as managers and policy makers for a long time. Intriguingly, the emergence of a new industry is a complex process including many different actors and with a high level of uncertainty related to technology, institutions and markets facing the actors involved.

7. 5. Electrochemical Reactions in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

   Author : Maria Wesselmark; Svein Sunde; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel cell; model electrodes; oxygen reduction; methanol oxidation; formic acid oxidation; hydrogen oxidation; CO oxidation; degradation; tungsten oxide; carbon support; Bränslecell; modellelektroder; syrgasreduktion; metanoloxidation; myrsyraoxidation; vätgasoxidation; CO oxidation; degradering; wolfram oxid; kolsupport; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : The polymer electrolyte fuel cell converts the chemical energy in a fuel, e.g. hydrogen or methanol, and oxygen into electrical energy. The high efficiency and the possibility to use fuel from renewable sources make them attractive as energy converters in future sustainable energy systems. READ MORE
