Objectives
FuelSOME will Make an Important Contribution to the Following Environmental Objectives:
Climate Change Mitigation
by proposing a technology which could potentially drastically reduce the GHG emissions of the maritime transport sector.
Pollution Prevention & Control
by diminishing the level of GHG and other pollutants emissions for the targeted application whilst doing no significant harm to the objectives of
Climate Change Adaptation
Transition to a Circular Economy
Preservation of Water & Marine Resources
Protection & Restoration of Biodiversity & Ecosystems


5 key S.M.A.R.T. objectives:
-
Objective 1To design an overall technology concept from source to end use and proceed with its modelling, considering fuel (quality) specifications as well as fuel storage and distribution aspects.
-
Objective 2To undertake research at stack level to advance its performance, efficiency, degradation, and tolerance limits and to proceed with development of the stack module.
-
Objective 3To design, build and test a lab scale prototype of the multi-fuel energy generator based on SOFC technology.
-
Objective 4To undertake a Techno-economic Assessment (TEA) and perform a prospective Life Cycle Sustainability assessment (LCSA).
-
Objective 5To maximize the project’s impact a through wide dissemination, communication, exploitation, and standardization actions.
