MAJOR CHALENGES
The
development of new materials that can solve the challenging problems in the
areas of clean energy conversion and storage is the most important step in
finding an alternative to exhaustive and environmentally unfriendly fossil
fuels.
Energy - production
and storage are the most important challenging issues in the world - EU HORIZON 2020 program as priority topics presents health, agriculture and the
environment, and energy savings and sustainability
Fuel Cells - valuable
option as energy sources of the future since they have high energy efficiency
and low pollutant emission. They can be used in a wide range of applications,
including transportation, as well as for stationary and portable power source
applications.
New
catalysts - improving commercial noble-based catalysts performance and minimizing
required amounts of expensive metals - EU
HORIZON 2020 program "Reduce the use of the EU defined "Critical raw
materials", for instance through low platinum or platinum free resources
and through recycling or reducing or avoiding the use of rare earth elements.
