Research and development of hydrogen technologies
Cidaut is a pioneer in the research and development of hydrogen technologies in our country. We research and develop technologies for the production of clean hydrogen and its subsequent application in transportation and buildings. We have experimental facilities, tools and theoretical models for research in hydrogen technologies, biomass, propulsion systems and biofuels...
Our complete infrastructure where electrochemical devices based on the use of H2 are characterized and validated, covers the testing scope from single cells to fuel cells, including stacks:
CIDAUT designs, develops and manufactures systems for the production of hydrogen from wet reforming of renewable substances, such as biogas or bioalcohols. This development focuses on:
CIDAUT develops stacks and fuel cells tailored to the expected use requirements. This development focuses on:
With the aim of replacing conventional electricity generation systems with fuel cell-based electrical systems (trams, tourist vehicles, river boats, port cranes, domestic cogeneration, etc.), CIDAUT works in the following areas:
The decarbonization of the industry involves reducing the use of fossil fuels and searching for alternatives that do not emit CO2 and other pollutants into the environment. Along these lines, the use of H2 as fuel is postulated, as well as mixtures of H2 with other gases such as natural gas (NG) and ammonia (NH3). The technology offered by CIDAUT means:
CIDAUT has:
The HyCID experimental laboratory includes equipment for the research and development of hydrogen technologies linked to both electrochemical and thermochemical processes.
The objective of this laboratory is to carry out tests and developments for the use of electrochemical H2 from a scale of monocells, stacks or complete fuel cells with their entire plant balance. These are testing facilities for energy systems based on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Equipment:
The objective of this laboratory is to carry out tests and developments linked to thermochemical processes with H2, as is the use of H2 as fuel from a thermal point of view, such as in the development of conversion processes to carriers (ammonia and methanol), as well as their subsequent use or reconversion to H2.
