OBJECTIVES

SWITCH aims at becoming a key technology for the transition to a zero-carbon mobility in Europe. Offering both economic and continuous supply of H2 at hydrogen refueling stations, it aspires to contribute to the transition to a zero-emission mobility and energy system.

The SWITCH project targets the following objectives:

Security

Guarantee security of H2 supply by demonstrating the capability of supplying green or low carbon hydrogen in all operating and demand conditions

Efficiency

Increase efficiency of H2 supply by using multisource hydrogen generation that optimizes green H2 production capacity whilst minimizing electricity costs

Sustainability

Improve the sustainability of H2 supply by targeting a 65% reduction of  CO2 emissions in H2 production with respect to conventional steam methane reforming

Cost reduction

Reduce the cost of H2 supply  by targeting an hydrogen cost of 5.00 €/kg H2 for 40 tons of hydrogen produced per day (SOE/SOFC operations)

Flexibility

Enhance the flexibility of H2 production by relying on multiple input sources and “switching” between the two operation modes

 

This project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (now Clean Hydrogen Partnership) under Grant Agreement No 875148. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program, Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Europe Research
