SUNIES - Sustainable and innovative fuel cell applications for island energy systems

The energy supply (electricity, heating and cooling) and water supply of islands – both geographically and in terms of decentralised island regions – are part of a modern, sustainable energy policy. The aim of the SUNIES project is to develop a comprehensive energy concept for island applications. With a view to modern energy provision, special fuel cell systems are being considered for this purpose, taking into account sustainability in the generation of electrical energy. Using the example of Greece, with its numerous small islands, some of which are far apart, the aim is to show how fuel cells can be used as systems for future energy supply.
