NewSOC

About: Solid oxide technologies are key enabling technologies to reach EU’s long-term climate goals. Due to their flexibility in terms of operation as fuel cells, electrolyser or reversible cells, they are an efficient link between sectors: power, gas, and heat in energy systems with a large share of renewable energy sources. Solid oxide fuel cells convert a variety of fuels including H2 or biogas into electricity. In the reverse mode, as solid oxide electrolysers, they convert steam, CO2 or both into fuels like H2 or syngas at close to 100 % efficiency. The EU-funded NewSOC project aims to improve the performance, durability, and cost-competitiveness of solid oxide cells and stacks, thereby boosting their market penetration and realizing their positive environmental impact.
