LEARN MORE The objective of the SophiA project is to provide sustainable off-grid energy supplies and clean drinking water for rural and remote health facilities in Africa, thereby accelerating the sustainable development, growth and economic transformation, and ensuring improved access to energy and health services for all.
The EU-funded SophiA project will develop containerised solutions for hospitals using natural refrigerants, solar thermal energy and photovoltaics.
Key targets of the SOPHIA project and expected outcomes are the development of cells (including large scale) and stacks which work under pressurized conditions, meet long durability (< 1% per 1000 h) and high performance (> 1 A/ cm2).
The SophiA-Systems will be manufactured in Africa and will provide for the first-time innovative solutions based on climate-friendly natural refrigerants to cover cooling demand for three different temperature ranges (-70°C with ethane, -30°C with CO 2, and +5°C with propane). Stay tuned! SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER!
A large potential market exists for the SOPHIA technology with production capacities. In 2010 the European Commission has adopted the Communication "Energy 2020 - A strategy for competitive, sustainable and secure energy". It includes five headline targets that set out where the EU should be in 2020.
Large scale SOPHIA like systems can be deployed in Southern Europe as the market analyses have shown. Deployment of stand-alone SOEC systems can be worldwide. EPFL is an important institute for education, training and PhD students in the field of system modelling, solar receiver modelling and fuel cell and electrolyser research.
