COMMISSARIAT A L ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES (CEA)

About CEA

Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (CEA) is tasked with guiding public decisions and providing the scientific and technical means that civil society (businesses and local authorities) needs to better manage major societal changes, such as the energy transition, digital transformation, future healthcare, defence and global security. CEA's LITEN institute, is a CEA technological research institute specializing in energy transition technology. Its research activities focus on a number of key areas: solar power, network management, storage, including batteries, and hydrogen, geared to energy efficiency and a circular economy. Its research encompasses diverse applications in the energy generation and distribution markets, transport and industrial processes, and for the environment.

CEA has a pilot line dedicated to the manufacturing of high temperature electrolysis cells, and a laboratory fully dedicated to SOFC and SOEL electrochemical tests, from button cells to stacks and systems, equipped with different fuels (H2, CH4, CO2, CO and pollutants such as H2S) and a 120 m² outdoor area available to test H2-based systems at a significant scale. In PEPPER, CEA will contribute to cell manufacturing and also participate to the electrochemical characterisations at the button cell scale under pressure using a test bench able to operate up to 10 bar.
