Introduction to ene.field
• ene.field is the largest European demonstration of the latest smart energy solution for private homes, fuel cell micro-CHP.
• It will deploy up to 1,000 Fuel Cell heating systems in 12 key European member states.
• Project duration of 5 years. Systems will be demonstrated for 2 to 3 years.
• Outputs of the project include:
Detailed performance data, lifecycle cost and environmental assessments, market analysis, commercialisation strategy.
Countries where units are currently expected to be installed
3
The consortium brings together under a single partnership 26 partners including:
• all of the leading European FC micro-CHP developers,
• leading European utilities,
• several research partners,
• partners in charge of dissemination and coordination of the project.
ene.field is a European platform for FC mCHP
The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is
committing c. €26 million to ene.field under the EU's
outgoing 7th Framework Programme for funding research
and development.

An efficient way to produce and deliver energy

• High electrical / thermal efficiencies. • Decentralised supply of heat / electricity. • No losses from transportation.
6
• Reduce CO2 associated with energy production at peak time.
• Less constrains for grid operation.
v
• CHP is the most efficient way to deliver / produce energy as it is based on simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy, both of which are used.
• Micro CHP allows decentralised generation of heat and power at peak time.

Fuel Cell micro Combined Heat and Power systems (FC mCHP) 1/2
System description
• Produce both heat and electricity for a building using a single fuel. Primarily produces electricity with heat being produced as a by-product.
• Well suited to the retrofit market and compatible with new build properties.
• Noise and vibration free source of power.
• Low local emissions

physics and chemistry of direct electrochemical oxidation in SOFC (see www.ene.field.eu)
When heat demand is too large for the system the
peak demand boiler will switch on and provide
heat. This peak demand boiler operates like a
conventional gas boiler.

Why are policy makers and industry pursuing CHP?
1. compared with a natural gas condensing boiler and European grid mix electricity 12
Carbon savings, reduced local emissions & energy efficiency
• FC mCHP can achieve carbon savings of up to 50%1.
• FC mCHP transfers electricity generation to the local level and alleviates transmission losses.
• FC mCHP can address renewable intermittency and nuclear inflexibility.
In the EU, the building sector is responsible for:
• 40% of energy consumption
• 36% of total CO2 emissions.

Technical characteristics of systems in ene.field
14
The systems deployed in ene.field present a good coverage of various type of requirements thanks to a wide range of technology, size and fuels.
v
Cost savings • High overall efficiency and displaced cost of electricity leading to savings in energy
costs for end-users (average est. between €800 and €1,200*). • Additional savings thanks to national grants for low carbon technologies.
Carbon savings (CO2 emissions) • Can achieve carbon savings of up to 50%* when compared with a natural gas
condensing boiler. • No soot / PN and limited nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
A cost effective solution for a low carbon energy production
15 * Depending on household characteristics, location, national prices and grants
+ Capital grant also available but not include in calculation.
