Project ELHYPORT is an integral approach for the development and use of hydrogen fuel cells in real applications, tackling new materials, electrocatalysis, components, devices, and systems. The specific objectives are:

• Porous layers for better transport of water and gases in gas diffusion electrodes.
• Integrated collector-gas diffusion electrode structures.
• New fuel cell designs with increased portability.
• Development of an intelligent electronics as Energy Management System.
• Integration of hydrogen fuel cells in low power and portable applications.
• Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) of the hydrogen fuel cell system.
