2025 Collaborative R&D

Innovative Integration of Direct Ammonia Fuel Cells for Zero-Carbons hybrid Torpedo Propulsion

1 Sep 2025 to 31 Mar 2026

Awarded
£59,331
Total cost £84,759

Ammonia is emerging as a highly promising energy vector for the maritime sector, offering a dense and transportable hydrogen carrier that enables renewable electricity to power heavy-duty transport applications. However, efficiently converting ammonia into electricity or hydrogen has been a significant challenge, limiting the transition from fossil fuels ...

Hydrogenia

1 Dec 2022 to 29 Feb 2024

Awarded
£296,752
Total cost £478,633

Fuel cell manufacturing scale-up is key to meeting UK Net Zero transportation obligations, encouraging domestic manufacturing and creating green-growth jobs. Fuel cell range-extenders will encourage uptake of new EVs by addressing some of the shortcomings of battery-only EVs, such as lengthy recharging times. This rare opportunity re-shores supply chains ...

Extending battery storage by fuel cell in solar home

1 Dec 2017 to 30 Nov 2019

Awarded
£312,920
Total cost £447,028

This project is to develop a ‘SOFcSOLar’ (SOFSOL) home power system combining the solar battery infrastructure of the Jiangsu partner ZNB with the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) knowledge of the UK company Adelan, with manufacturing expertise from Conrad Anderson. Renewable energy is increasingly used in China homes, but is limited by energy storage. Batter...

2016 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Development of novel and reliable microSOFCs for use in APUs & other applications

1 Sep 2016 to 31 Aug 2017

Awarded
£97,938
Total cost £139,912

This project examines the feasibility of a new SOFC device in the field of fuel cells, an invention which could lead to more economic portable power in stationary vehicles such as campervans and police vans. Up to now, the fuel cell has been too expensive to apply in such applications. Even after long development, a small fuel cell system for power/heat c...
