Background
Solid oxide technologies (SOC: Solid oxide fuel cells SOFC & Solid oxide electrolysis SOE, reversible fuel cell- electrolysis revSOC):
- Are key enabling technologies for energy systems based on renewable sources.
- Allow for a strong interlinking of sectors electricity, heat, and gas/fuels.
- Can emerge as key players in many concepts, such as fuel/gas to power & heat, power to X, utilization & upgrading of biogas, balancing of intermittent electricity.
The NewSOC goal has been to significantly improving performance, durability, and cost competitiveness of SOC.
NewSOC targets have been
- 25% Performance increase
- 25% Increase of cycling stability
- 25% Reduction of cell manufacturing costs, and
- 25% Reduction of toxic materials
