C-HYDRE: Container-HYDRogènE

  • C-HYDRE hydrogen container: Investigates the ultra-durability of high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) technology for efficient, low-carbon hydrogen production.
  • Major challenge: Stack degradation, driven by multiple coupled mechanisms, hinders industrialization.
  • Lifespan depends on design and operating parameters, but result comparisons are complicated by test variations.
  • Solution C-HYDRE: Uses multiple identical test stations operated simultaneously to overcome these obstacles.
  • Objectives: Optimize operating conditions and reduce costs.​
