Solid Oxide Cell Technology for Supply, Recovery, and Storage Energy

Abstract

Fuel Cell Energy, Inc. (FCE) is advancing the current state of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology towards commercial deployment for efficient and nonpolluting generation of electric power from natural gas, biomass, and hydrogen fuels. Additionally, FCE is utilizing the same solid oxide cell and stack technology in steam electrolysis for production of hydrogen from renewable sources and other electric power stations such as nuclear power plants during the curtailment periods. The capabilities of SOFC as fuel cell and as electrolyzer has expanded opportunities for reversible operation and its application in energy storage.
