On the 6th of October 2017 there was organised the presentation of first results of the cooperation of IEn's Department of High-Temperature Electrochemistry Processes (CPE) and National Fuel Cell Research Center, University of California, Irvine (NFCRC UCI), within research project entitled: Evaluation of application of solid oxide electrochemical conversion systems for the dynamic dispatch to complement intermittent renewable power. The project is financed by the Fulbright Commission from the US Department of State and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The project is financed by the Fulbright Commission from the US Department of State and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The project concerns the development of power-to-gas system used to support unstable renewable energy sources by generating synthetic fuel from excess electricity. The project manager is Jakub Kupecki (PhD), a Fulbright Scholar, performing research internship at NFCRC UCI from September 2017 - May 2018 (photo: Prof. Scott Samuelsen - Director of NFCRC UCI, Jakub Kupecki, Prof. Jacob Brouwer - Deputy Director of NFCRC UCI)
The National Fuel Cell Research Center (www.nfcrc.uci.edu) is a leading pioneering center to accelerate the development and deployment of fuel cell technology, to provide an outreach to the market, to address market hurdles, and to provide leadership in the preparation of educational materials and programs throughout the country.The NFCRC engages undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines of engineering and the physical and biological sciences, and collaborates on courses and team projects with both the social sciences and business sciences. A brief history and selected topics in the field of hydrogen technology conducted at NCFCR UCI are presented on Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuxIbRw9O7U
