The manuscript co-authored by Marek Skrzypkiewicz and Jakub Kupecki from HiTEP "Analysis of H2S-related short-term degradation and regeneration of anode and electrolyte supported solid oxide fuel cells fueled with biomass steam gasifier product gas" was published in Energy (Pongratz, Subotić, Schroettner, Hochenauer, Skrzypkiewicz, Kupecki, Anca-Couce, Scharler). The publication discusses the possibility of regenerating SOFCs which were affected by the presence of H2S in producer gas from biomass gasifier. Two types of SOFC were studied, including anode supported SOFC produced at IEn.

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF Poland) has published a comprehensive report on energy storage technologies was published, with particular emphasis on the expected effects of reducing emissions and pollution from the energy sector. The study is a compendium of the latest knowledge in the field of energy storage of various scales, including systems dedicated to energy, transport and industry. The co-author of both language versions of the report is Jakub Kupecki, prof. IEn, head of the Department of High Temperature Electrochemical Processes.
