## Description

\*\*\*CANCELLED\*\*\* With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre \(TERC\) and is looking to procure and integrate into a mini-grid system a range of bio-energy and renewable energy generating equipment, carbon capture, utilisation and storage \(CCUS\), fuel cells and electrolysers\. Molten carbonate fuel cell \(MCFC\) technology is highly appealing: it does not only capture CO2 but also produces electrical energy at the same time\. Furthermore, the high operating temperature \(500-700 ºC\) enables MCFC to internally process a wide spectrum of fuel and flue gases\. The MCFC system will support our extensive current and future research activities in low carbon energy generation, integrated energy systems and hydrogen economy\. This tender will be assessed in 2 separate lots depending on the electrical output rating: ~10 kW and ~20 kW\. We are seeking tender submissions of between 350 000 GBP and 450 000 GBP\. The 400 000 GBP figure shown indicates the mid range value for this project\. This is an EU open exercise\. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University\`s e-tendering system https://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/Sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend system, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system\.
