The EFCF 2022 forum will be chaired by Dr. Julie Mougin and Dr. Jérôme Laurencin, from CEA Liten. This event will address Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) and Solid Oxide Electrolysers (SOE) matters. The energy transition, essential to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, will involve a large number of technologies for hydrogen production, storage and transport.
The CEA at INES obtained flexible perovskite solar modules with a surface area of 11.6 cm2 and a power conversion efficiency of 18.9% (stabilized efficiency > 18.5%).
The CEA recently developed a stretchable, screen-printable deformation sensor that could be deposited on textiles.
Massive electrification is one of the keys to more environmentally sustainable energy practices—and one that will help us reach the target of reducing fossil-fuel consumption by half by 2050.
INES.2S supports Team AURA for the Solar Decathlon 2022 in Wuppertal. Good luck to the team for the final run!
CEA-Liten and its partners have been looking at ways to optimize the management of urban heat networks for many years. Recently, they developed innovative algorithms and integrated them in a suite of software called DistrictLab-H.
The CEA at INES is partner in this project, led by the company Lumila, of a photovoltaic charging station not connected to the grid, intended for beekeepers in Burkina Faso.
The CEA-Liten at INES, in collaboration with ENEL Green Power, is developing the two-terminal Si/PK tandem technology with the aim of achieving high efficiencies in conventional photovoltaic formats with processes that allow their industrialization.
A new composite packaging with flexible sensors ensures continuous increased safety while shaving 15% off battery pack weight. The system, which has potential for a wide range of other uses, leverages structural electronics, battery, and signal processing research.
Moving towards new recyclable and/or eco-composite materials, such as natural fibres and recyclable polymer resins, to manufacture photovoltaic panels and further reduce their environmental footprint. The next step in photovoltaics?
Enel Green Power and CEA achieve 24.47% efficiency for an industrial-sized Ga-doped P-type silicon heterojunction at INES
The durability/reliability of photovoltaic panels is an economic and environmental issue. They must be resistant at least 25 years of operation, subject to external conditions.
STEADYSUN, a CEA partner in INES since its creation in 2013 and an associate partner of the Institute for Energy Transition INES.2S since its creation, has just joined the ITE consortium.
Precision mechanical parts and sheet metal company Tolectro turned to the CEA for support diversifying its service lineup into additive manufacturing for the complex-parts market.
BEST4Hy Project, an european project, focuses on the development and validation of existing and novel recycling processes for 2 key FCH products: PEMFC and SOFC.
Scientists at CEA-Liten recently developed a thermal storage demonstrator that uses sugar, of all things! They combined two different techniques to crystallize the unusual storage medium.
CEA is getting at INES its first life cycle analysis results of a photovoltaic module with perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem cells.
ENEL Green Power's TANGO project is the winner of the European Commission's Innovation Fund for large-scale projects. It will increase production from 200 MW/year to 3 GW/year of bifacial heterojunction photovoltaic modules at the 3SUN plant in Catania, Italy.
CEA-Liten recently developed a machine that produces cold and electricity simultaneously from a low-carbon heat source. The new machine uses ten times less energy than today’s compressors.
Mondragon Assembly, a leading European player, specialized in the design, manufacture of equipment and production lines for the assembly and characterization of photovoltaic panels, and the CEA carrying the ITE INES.2S, have just forged a new partnership.
The CEA at INES has produced the first large, flexible and foldable solar sails for space generators in the framework of the European ALFAMA project.
Buildings account for about one third of global energy demand. It can still be greatly improved through a systemic approach integrating more efficient building envelopes, high efficiency equipment and the integration of renewable energy. This approach requires more and more simulation and optimization at the design stage of buildings.
Roctool, specialists in mold heating and cooling technologies for plastics and composites, announces the strong acceleration of its partnership with the CEA to create the photovoltaic panels of the future.
Ensuring access to the raw materials for the European Green Deal: A European Call for Action
In the framework of the Horizon 2020 HIGHLITE project, CEA at INES is developing shingle technology applied to high performance heterojunction solar cells (HJT) and high density/high power for the commercial and industrial roofing market - a promising series of pre-industrial modules has just been produced.
