The REMHY project aims to reuse Solution F’s engine test cells, formerly used for competition engines, by renovating and converting them to make them compatible with the use of hydrogen for one of them and renewable liquid fuels for the other.
These cells, initially designed for motorsport applications, which do not require pollutant emissions to be measured, have also been upgraded with the addition of dedicated measurement equipment in order to reach regulated markets for engines developed in these facilities, such as stationary installations such as generators or mobile applications in the transport sector (school coaches, fishing boats and passenger shuttles, light aviation, etc.).
The REMHY project aimed to adapt Solution F’s existing experimental testing facilities by reusing them. These experimental facilities are used to contribute to the development of internal combustion engines running on green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power, or renewable liquid fuels (e-fuels, synthetic fuels, or biofuels). These testing facilities are the only ones of their kind in the southern region.
The project consisted of three phases, which were carried out in parallel:
1. Renovation of the two existing test cells
2. Adaptation of the first test cell for hydrogen
3. Adaptation of the second test cell for renewable liquid fuels.
