SURFER Supporting Uptake of Renewables with Flexible Electrolysers for Resilient energy systems
Coordinator: SINTEF AS (NO)
The SURFER project aims to facilitate the widespread deployment of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) by demonstrating the use of flexible electrolysers as dynamic energy buffers and stabilise multiple types of energy networks, focusing primarily on power grids, but also considering heat valorisation and isolated or weak grids. SURFER will validate the capabilities of PEMEL, AEL and SOEL electrolysers to rapidly modulate their operation to accommodate fluctuations in renewable energy supply, grid demand and waste heat when available. Through multiple demonstrations across diverse Europe…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
0 EU contribution: €6.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2026-01-01 to 2029-12-31.
