IDEAL: Intelligent Decarbonized and Low Emissions Power Generation

Project funded by Agencia Estatal de Investigación (PID2019-108592RB-C41-C42-C43-C44 / AEI / 10.13039/501100011033)
The project IDEAL aims to contribute to the global objetive of the European Union and of the Spanish Goverment on CO2 emissions reduction and systems efficiency by developing chemical (combustion) and electrochemical (fuel, cells and batteries) systems based on sustainable hydrogen, hydrogen-derived fuels (ammonia, biofuels, and synthetic fuels, such as methane or DME) and reformate gas
