1 COPERNIC Cost and PERformaNce Improvement for Cgh2 FCH-JU JTI Coordinateur: CEA Partenaires: Raigi, SymbioFCell, GHR, WRUT, Seifert&Skinner&Associates, H2Logic Budget total: 3.4 M Subvention européenne: 2 M Dates de démarrage et de clôture:

2 Context energy Fuel Cell and Hydrogen technologies enormous potential o Reduction of CO2 (particular in transport) o Improving energy security o Promoting innovation FC & Hydrogen identified by Europe as one of the needed technologies to reach 2020 goals Creation of FCH-JU 1

3 Targeted applications Stationary applications Mobile applications Back Up Remote sites Special vehicles Portable PowerGen Captive fleet /Public transportation Sailing / Leisure

4 Challenges FCH are emerging technologies high market risk Large investments in hydrogen distribution infrastructure Lower cost of all parts of the FCH chain

5 LES PROGRAMMES EUROPÉENS POUR LA RECHERCHE ET L INNOVATION DANS LES DOMAINES DE L ENVIRONNEMENT ET H2 refueling stations in europe

6 Objectives COPERNIC high pressure composite vessels TRANSPORT- SoA Certain level of maturity of on-board compressed gaseous storage systems (70 MPa) Several demonstration projects and cars Major car companies will start production in 2015 However, major issues need to be adressed: o High cost o Volume manufacturing

7 Increase the maturity and competitiveness of CGH2 manufacturing processes evolving from classical automotive manufacturing technologies or concepts. Decrease costs while improving composite quality, manufacturing productivity and using optimized composite design, materials and components

8 CEA Le Ripault New technologies for energy Hydrogen Production of hydrogen : electrolysis High pressure storage: transport, transportable Electricity production: Fuel cell components Electro-chemical storage Batteries: high performant electrolytes, post-mortem analysis, safety Supercapacitor : electrolyte, separator Solar thermal concentrated solar power Highly selective and high temperature ceramic films

9 CEA high-pressure vessel experience Materials Computation Synthesis Polymer modification Characterization Perf. Optimization Ageing / Durability Processes Simulation Manufacturing Health monitoring Process & Quality Ctrl Systems Ancillary components Safety monitoring TESTING Innovative concepts

10 Proposal writing Fast proposal writing (less than 30 days) For the coordination and writing: 3 persons involved from the CEA Core of the consortium was known in advance Important background experience in the topic 80-90% written by the CEA Difficulties o Collect input from the other partners o Estimate the impact concerning performance, optimization and cost reduction

11 Negociations No big difficulties, just time consuming Quantification of deliverables and milestones!!! NDA can take a long time to sign

12 Advice First phase o Start as early as possible keep updated on different calls o Have good experience in the topic o Chose the good coordinator and core partners o Careful, industrials may take a long time to decide Proposal writing o Start with a workplan and a gant with the major milestones o Answer to ALL the demands in the topic o Be precise and short use bullet points and diagrams if possible o Go straight to the point no blabla o DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPACT SECTION o Be passionate about your project o Get one or several colleagues opinion

13 Advice Other o Take the time for a face-to-face consortium meeting o Get help if possible o Keep the consortium updated and frequently ask for feedback o The partners not responding well during the proposal writing will probably continue during the project
