FME MoZEES

MoZEES is a Norwegian research center for zero emission technology in heavy duty transport applications. We focus on battery and hydrogen value chains, systems, and applications where Norway can take a leading position in the future. The Center is hosted by IFE, and has a budget of more than 250 MNOK and a timeframe of 8 years. MoZEES unites about 40 partners, and is a partnership between Norwegian research institutions, public agencies and user partners from private sector and industry, - the latter group including both small materials specialists and large international technology companies. The partners each represent unique skills and complementary strengths and perspectives that combined can bring forth the best zero-emission solutions for the heavy duty transport sector. MoZEES has four main research areas (RAs): RA1 and RA2 focus on research that can lead to breakthrough development in materials and key components for batteries and hydrogen related technologies (fuel cells, electrolyzers, and gas separation membranes). A main priority is to build strong research teams to take advantages of multi-disciplinary expertise and cross-sectorial capabilities. RA3 focuses on the design and operation of battery and hydrogen systems for specific applications. Detailed technical studies on safety, reliability, and energy efficiency are being performed, and used to develop system specifications and guidelines. RA4 analyzes the energy and transport system as a whole, and detailed techno-economic studies of specific applications are being carried out. It should be noted here that the case studies of the Center are evaluated from a technical perspective (RA3), as well as from a techno-economic and policy perspective (RA4).
