Countries where units are currently expected to be installed 4

  5. ene.field is a European platform for FC mCHP • The consortium brings together 26 partners including: • the leading European FC micro-CHP developers, • leading European utilities, • leading research institutes, • partners in charge of dissemination and coordination of the project. The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is committing c. €26 million to ene.fieldunder the EU's 7th Framework Programme for funding research and development. 5

  7. Fuel Cell micro Combined Heat and Power systems (FC mCHP) 1/2 v System description • Produce both heat and electricity for a building using a single fuel. Primarily produces electricity with heat being produced as a by-product. • Well suited to the retrofit market and compatible with new build properties. • Noise and vibration free source of power. • Low local emissions When heat demand is too large for the system the peak demand boiler will switch on and provide heat. This peak demand boiler operates like a conventional gas boiler.

  8. Fuel Cell micro Combined Heat and Power systems (FC mCHP) 2/2 v • FC description • Combines hydrogen produced from the fuel and oxygen from the air to produce power, heat and water through an electrochemical reaction. • Can operate on a variety of fuels, including: • natural gas (L and H), • biofuels and • hydrogen Standard Fuel Cell system Source: Fuel Cell Handbook (fifth edition), EG&G Services Parsons, Inc., 2000. and Fundamental physics and chemistry of direct electrochemical oxidation in SOFC (see www.ene.field.eu) 8

  9. A growing market and interest for FC mCHP v The last 5 years have seen a steep increase in sales worldwide as well as the implementation of numerous schemes to incentivise the uptake of mCHP. Countries with incentives for mCHP FC mCHP sales worldwide Source: Code project at http://www.code-project.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/231210-European-Summary-Report-on-CHP-support-schemes.pdf(table) and data from Delta Energy & Environment at http://www.cogeneurope.eu/medialibrary/2013/04/23/ccf35af0/John%20Murray%20-%20Delta%20EE.pdf(Graph).

  10. A growing interest at the European policy level v • Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU) • Defines micro-CHP as a cogeneration unit with a maximum capacity below 50 kWe. • Member States shall conduct a comprehensive assessment of introducing high-efficiency CHP & DHC, which shall also consider the potential for micro-CHP. • Member States are encouraged to facilitate the grid connection to micro-cogeneration units. • Simplified notification “install and inform” procedure for the installation of micro-CHP is recommended. • Energy performance of Buildings Directive (2010/31/EU) • Cogeneration, including micro-CHP, is part of the toolbox of energy efficient measures to improve the energy efficiency in buildings. • European Parliament Microgeneration Resolution (adopted on 12th September 2013) • Calls on the Commission to put more emphasis on realising the potential of small scale technologies, including micro-CHP. • Micro-CHP is mentioned as an important small scale technology to save energy in buildings, contributing together with renewables to zero- or positive- energy buildings.

  11. Why are policy makers and industry pursuing CHP? 1/2 Carbon savings, reduced local emissions & energy efficiency • In the EU, the building sector is responsible for: • 40% of energy consumption • 36% of total CO2emissions. Challenges • FC mCHP can achieve carbon savings of up to 50%1. • FC mCHPtransfers electricity generation to the local level and alleviates transmission losses. Benefits 11 1. compared with a natural gas condensing boiler and European grid mix electricity

  12. Why are policy makers and industry pursuing CHP? 2/2 Cost savings, markets development & smart grid application • Rapidly increasing electricity demand. • Integration of high capacity of intermittent renewables on electricity grids. • Required investment in grid reinforcement, storage and generating capacity. • Required application to support smart grid infrastructure. Challenges • FC mCHP can produce low cost electricity from gas. • FC mCHP can address renewable intermittency and nuclear inflexibility. • FC mCHPcan provide a flexible response to real time prices via smart metering. • FC mCHPcan empower consumers by giving them control of their electricity bills. Benefits 12

  13. An efficient way to produce and deliver energy v • Micro CHP allows decentralisedgeneration of heat and power at peak time. • High electrical / thermal efficiencies. • Decentralised supply of heat / electricity. • No losses from transportation. • Reduce CO2 associated with energy production at peak time. • Less constraints for grid operation. • CHP is the most efficient way to deliver / produce energy as it is based on simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy used to meet local loads.

  14. Advanced and innovative technologies v • FC mCHP also generates less harmful emissions for the environment and for people’s health (CO2, PM, Sox, etc.). • FC mCHP has a higher overall efficiency than a traditional boiler or even than other mCHP solutions.
