 The first newsletter of the SOFCOM - FP7 project is now available.
SOFCOM is an applied research project devoted to demonstrate the technical feasibility, the efficiency and environmental advantages of CCHP plants based on SOFC fed by different typologies of biogenous primary fuels (locally produced), also integrated by a process for the CO2 separation from the anode exhaust gases.

 The HyTEC project was recently featured in a Euronews programme, with footage of the Air Products Hydrogen fuelling station and taxi operation.
"There are standards that will still need to be put in place for hydrogen vehicles, but part of projects like this helps to address those issues. As we move towards commercialisation of these vehicles in 2015, the required regulations will be addressed and in place," says Diana Raine, project coordinator for the HyTEC (Hydrogen Transport for European Cities) project.

 Please join us in welcoming Mar Estellés to MATGAS as Research Assistant.
Mar Estelles joined MATGAS in July 2012 after finishing her studies of Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Valencia. As part of her academic trainee Mar earned a grant to join the Process Control Group at NTNU (Trondheim). There, she carried out a research project on the design of integrated distillation columns for separation of multicomponent mixtures. As well as focusing on chemical processes, Mar also acquired a deep knowledge on environmental issues and Life Cycle Assessment methodologies through different technical placements.
In her new position at MATGAS, Mar will be working on an internal R&D project which aims at characterizing and testing selected materials used in gas-solid catalytic processes for H2 production, and also for others applications such as separation of industrial gases.
Welcome to MATGAS, Mar!
