Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH (www.fz-juelich.de)

According to its Web …
“Forschungszentrum Jülich pursues cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on solving the grand challenges facing society in the fields of health, energy and the environment, and also information technologies. In combination with its two key competencies – physics and supercomputing – work at Jülich focuses on both long-term, fundamental and multidisciplinary contributions to science and technology as well as on specific technological applications. With a staff of about 4400, Jülich – a member of the Helmholtz Association – is one of the largest research centres in Europe.”

Fuel Cell Development at FZJ
84 pages (2007)

From the introduction …
“The “Fuel Cells” programme topic at Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH includes the development of cells, components, stacks and systems for high-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and low-temperature fuel cells with polymer electrolytes (DMFCs and PEFCs), as well as reactors and systems for reforming, desulphurization and fuel gas cleaning. This topic aims at the high-efficiency provision of electric energy for mobile, portable and stationary applications. The R&D work targets a power range from a few kilowatts in the DMFC activities, between one and fifty kilowatts for the HT-PEFC, and several to several hundred kilowatts in SOFC applications. Fuel gas production focuses on the use of middle distillates (diesel, kerosene and fuel oil). The goal is the provision of technology for reproducibly fabricating high-performance and robust fuel cells and system components, as well as developing analytical methods for diagnostic purposes.”
