Unite! MSCA Energy

The MSCA Unite! Energy project brings together: the nine Unite! universities (Universidade de Lisboa as an associated partner) and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Also as associated partners are involved eight companies: EOS Finland, ABB, Powercell Sweden, KIC INNOENERGY SE, HERAEUS DEUTSCHLAND GMBH & CO KG, SOLARONIX SA, CEA GRENOBLE, SNAM S.P.A.) and two R&I institutions: Barcelona Supercomputing Center and eRoots Analytics.

The overall success of Unite!Energy project will be supported by the development and achievement of the specific objectives:

Decrease the cost and environmental impact of the electrolyser-photoelectrolyser
system (WP1) and fuel cell stack (WP2) maintaining or increasing their performances and stability.

Design and optimise system components to increase their efficiency and durability, considering safety-related aspects and by-products recycling (WP3).

Assess the environmental impacts, sustainability, and criticalities of the PtP solution and of each technology involved (WP4).

Prepare a well-trained workforce with particular attention to the material science, design and sustainability assessment of processes (WP5).

Produce and disseminate high-quality scientific knowledge about chemical storage
using hydrogen, and to increase social acceptance in hydrogen-based technologies (WP6).

Create a strong university network based on the existing Unite! alliance and to
reinforce the partnership with industrial entities that seek synergies between academia and stakeholders (WP7).
