Overview
***CANCELLED*** With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and is looking to procure and integrate into a mini-grid system a range of bio-energy and renewable energy generating equipment, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), fuel cells and electrolysers. Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) technology is highly appealing: it does not only capture CO2 but also produces electrical energy at the same time.
Furthermore, the high operating temperature (500-700 ºC) enables MCFC to internally process a wide spectrum of fuel and flue gases. The MCFC system will support our extensive current and future research activities in low carbon energy generation, integrated energy systems and hydrogen economy.
This tender will be assessed in 2 separate lots depending on the electrical output rating: ~10 kW and ~20 kW. We are seeking tender submissions of between 350 000 GBP and 450 000 GBP.
