The SOPHIA project has provided HyGear with th knowledge to widen ist technology base for producing hydrogen in future years. SP is a major developer and supplier of SOFC systems. It is constantly improving iis cells, stacks, and systems. The results obtained in the SOPHIA project will assist SP in this efort.
Key targets of the SOPHIA project and expected outcomes are the development of cells (including large scale) and stacks which work under pressurized conditions, meet long durability (< 1% per 1000 h) and high performance (> 1 A/ cm2).
A large potential market exists for the SOPHIA technology with production capacities. In 2010 the European Commission has adopted the Communication "Energy 2020 - A strategy for competitive, sustainable and secure energy". It includes five headline targets that set out where the EU should be in 2020.
Large scale SOPHIA like systems can be deployed in Southern Europe as the market analyses have shown. Deployment of stand-alone SOEC systems can be worldwide. EPFL is an important institute for education, training and PhD students in the field of system modelling, solar receiver modelling and fuel cell and electrolyser research.
The SOPHIA consortium can be divided into two partner groups, Industry and RTD-performers. Each group will identify the best type of exploitation action and the specific audience of the exploitation activities.
As a general matter, all the numerical means developed in SOPHIA will be valorized through studies dedicated to the optimization of high temperature fuel cell and electrolyser. They allow to narrow the gap between the laboratory developments and the pre-commercial systems.
