Why SOFC is Differentiated

§ SOFC are positioned to achieve an attractive total cost of ownership (TCO), driven by the following:

§ Efficiency: highest electrical efficiency of up to 70% (over a large power range) and a combined efficiency in co-generation of more than 90%

§ Fuel flexibility: SOFCs can use the existing gas infrastructure due to their ability to use conventional fuels like natural gas and to tolerate some impurities (unlike PEM)

§ Cost: SOFC technology enables simpler and less expensive system designs, using abundant raw materials with no use of precious metals. However, costs remain high due to limited worldwide production capacities

§ Lifetime: Longer lifetimes decrease operating and maintenance costs

§ Lower emissions: higher efficiency means lower CO2 emissions; no NOx, SOx or particulate pollutants produced (potential to be exempt from environmental taxes)

SOFC Highlights

SOFC Electrical Efficiency

SOFC powered systems are the most promising solution for clean and distributed generation of

heat and power (CHP)

§ Efficiency: the lowest external energy input (< 3.5 kWh/Nm3 of H2) needed for fuel production (H2, syngas, hydrocarbons) in comparison to other “green” technologies (4.5 - 6.5 kWh/Nm3 of H2)

§ The only technology that can be used in reversible mode i.e. to produce hydrogen and turn hydrogen back to electricity using the same device

§ High fuel production rate: SOECs can operate at a very high current density, producing large amounts of fuel

§ Energy capacity: possibility to store and re-use very high amounts of energy stored in fuels, that is limited only in inexpensive storage tanks

§ CO2 valorisation: carbon dioxide (CO2), a major green house gas, is consumed during fuel production in a SOEC system

Power is generated by electrochemical conversion of the fuel. It is the most efficient power generation technology available.Highly fuel flexible.

Enables virtually emission free power generation from natural gas or biofuels.Purifies the ambient air while generating power

Elcogen SOC: New Energy World 2.0

§ SOC complements solar and battery technologies

§ SOCs are reversible: generating power & heat when acting as SOFCs and capable electrolyzing hydrogen via power-to-gas in SOEC mode

§ Efficient, fuel flexible and clean generation while allowing long-term storage from intermittent renewable sources (e.g. solar, wind)

§ Modular & applicable in multiple use cases

§ SOCs help:

§ Generate electricity and heat at a higher efficiency

§ Provide longer term storage via highly efficient power-to-gas electrolysis

§ Extend the usefulness of renewables and solve intermittency issues
