Welcome to the official website of TBC4H2, a cutting-edge research project aimed at revolutionizing the energy sector by developing advanced Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs). These coatings are essential for improving the efficiency and sustainability of turbine components operating under extreme temperatures and hydrogen combustion. By understanding the limits of current materials and exploring innovative solutions, the TBC4H2 project seeks to contribute to greener and more sustainable power generation.
Project Scope and Focus
The project, spanning from 2023 to 2026, focuses on investigating how TBCs behave in high-temperature environments, particularly beyond 1200°C, and under water vapor atmospheres—key conditions in hydrogen combustion. The knowledge gained from this research will drive forward the future of heat-to-power applications, aligning with global goals for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.
Collaborative Consortium
TBC4H2 brings together a consortium of leading research institutions across Europe, each contributing their expertise in materials science, high-temperature testing, and advanced coatings technologies. The project is organized into several Work Packages (WP), each addressing a specific aspect of the research, ranging from the deposition of bond coatingsto the technology demonstration of the most promising materials. The collaboration ensures that the project’s findings are both scientifically robust and industrially relevant.
Dissemination and Updates
In addition to its scientific ambitions, TBC4H2 is committed to effective dissemination of results and fostering collaboration within the research community and the industry. Regular updates will be provided on this website, where you can explore the project’s goals, meet the consortium partners, and stay informed about news and events related to the research.
