What is it about?
HyCARE is a H2020 EU project supported by Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking – FCH JU, and was implemented between 2014 and 2023.
The main objective of the HyCARE project was the development of a prototype hydrogen storage tank using a solid-state hydrogen carrier on a large scale. Using an innovative concept, the realised tank links hydrogen and heat storage for stationary applications, improving energy efficiency and reducing the footprint of the whole system. Linked to a 55 kW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser as hydrogen provider and a 20 kW PEM fuel cell as hydrogen user, 40 kg hydrogen stored in the metal hydride hydrogen storage system, the innovative HyCARE system has been installed at the site of ENGIE Lab CRIGEN, a research and operational expertise centre dedicated to gas, new energy sources, and emerging technologies.
