What is Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration? 3
Why Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration? Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration is a highly efficient home energy system that simultaneously produces heat and electricity Empowers consumers Supports the European energy transition Provides greater flexibility for the energy system Fosters innovation and high-value jobs 4
The research leading to these results has PACE project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and received funding from the European Union ´ s 7th Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 700339. Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) for the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Technology Initiative under Grant Agreement Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Number 303462.

Customer satisfaction S urveys show that more than 90% of end users are pleased with the environmental performance, the comfort and warmth and running costs of their fuel cell micro-cogeneration unit 9
Micro-Cogeneration delivers important distribution network cost reductions Up t to 31 G GW Micro-Cogeneration distribution network cost reductions per kW installed (2020-2050) micro-Cogeneration potential in 2030 € 62 62 bn bn in avoided grid investments associated with micro-CHP Up to 28% 28% of EU’s projected grid reinforcements needs potentially delivered by micro- From “ Benefits of Widespread Deployment of Fuel Cell micro-CHP in Securing and Decarbonising the Future European Electricity System” authored by Imperial College London Cogeneration 10
Environmental Life Cycle Assessment CO 2 eq. savings compared to Gas Condensing Boiler • LCA: Generally less green house gas emission from FC micro-Cogeneration than from gas condensing boiler or heat pump solutions • Higher benefits for higher utilisation of the fuel cell • Higher benefits for more carbon intentisve power mixes [T.M. Bachmann, F. Carnicelli, P. Preiss, 2017]
Potential CO 2 emission reductions CO 2 emissions savings across Europe in 2030 : More than 32 mil tonnes equivalent to 25% of Belgium’s emissions in 2015 equivalent total yearly emissions of more than 5,3 million cars 8 (million tonnes of CO2/year) Reduction in emissions 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 AT BE DE DK ES FR GB IT NL PL RO
