PROJECT : EURECA

CISTEM – Construction of Improved HT-PEM MEAs and Stacks for Long Term Stable CHP Units

Seventh Framework Programme

The purpose of the CISTEM project is to show a proof of concept of high temperature PEM (HT-PEM) MEA technology for large combined heat and power (CHP) systems. A CHP system up to 100 kWel will be set up and demonstrated. This CHP system size is suitable for district heat and power supply.

CISTEM is funded by the European Union, Grant Agreement N° 325262. Duration: 1st June 2013 – 31th May 2016
