FBK is a private research institution based in Trento (Italy), operating in different scientific fields and disciplines. As such, it keeps the Autonomous Province of Trento within the mainstream of international research. FBK comprises 13 research centres with activities and production available at http://www.fbk.eu/research-centers.Workplace
The Centre on Sustainable Energy (SE) supports the development of devices and methods for generating, storing, and distributing energy solutions with low environmental impact. It is done from the perspective of energy sustainability, systems and solutions that respect the environment and the quality of life, and solutions with a lower impact on health and environmental pollution levels. The ground for the Centre on "Sustainable Energy" is based on the Decarbonization targets, which will demand more flexibility of the energy system through new gas and power grids and using energy vectors and storage solutions as enablers for the broad penetration of renewables.
The HYdrogen Technologies and Resilient Energy Systems unit (HyRES) is a research and development unit at the forefront of advancing hydrogen technologies and resilient energy systems. With a primary focus on hydrogen, the unit works diligently to innovate the future energy grid, making it more intelligent and capable of integrating renewable sources. Ensuring energy resilience and security is a central goal for the unit, to be reached in collaboration with industrial partners. The unit research encompasses various aspects, including hydrogen production, storage and final uses, all with the overarching aim of reducing the carbon footprint of energy systems and positively impacting the energy market, making it more sustainable and secure for the future.
HYRES unit is involved in the following European projects and industrial consultancies:
· AMON[1]
The EU-funded AMON project will develop an innovative system to convert ammonia into electric power using a solid oxide fuel cell. The project focuses on designing critical components, such as the fuel cell, ammonia cracker, ammonia burner, and anode gas recirculatorion. Additionally, the project will engineer the balance of the plant, validate compliance with ammonia use, and manufacture an overall ammonia fuel cell system. Finally, the system will be tested in a maritime port area to assess its practicality. Overall, the AMON project seeks to create a sustainable and efficient system for utilizing ammonia as a hydrogen carrier to support clean energy solutions.
