Relevant expertise for eForFuel
SINTEF will be involved in the WP1 of the eForFuel project and will draw from the long-term specialization of NES in PEM fuel cell technologies which is applicable to the formic acid production in the electro-bioreactor. The research group has a proven track record in the successful completion of multiple national and European projects as project coordinator, these include KEEPEMALIVE; NEXPEL, NOVEL, STAMPEM, and MEGASTACK and as participant (work package leader) STAYERS; SMARTCat, H2moves Scandinavia and SecondAct.
