SOEC Electrolysis

25-30 %pt Higher Efficiency than Low-Temperature Electrolysis

SOEC uses low-pressure steam (> 150° C) and operates at high temperatures (~ 800° C)

  • Lower total energy demand at high temperatures
  • Lower overvoltage due to faster reaction kinetics and higher conductivity

Technical Specifications

All specifications refer to our product: Sunfire-HyLink SOEC GEN 3. Graphics & illustrations may vary and contain partly fictitious values

1)  Expected efficiency of the 3rd generation of Sunfire’s SOEC electrolyzers. Electrical efficiency of 84 % LHV/AC proven in EU-funded GrInHy2.0 project in 2022 with 1st generation of Sunfire’s SOEC electrolyzers.

2) Including all required stack replacements via full LTSA (Long-Term Service Agreement) offering

3) Product gas is water-saturated with < 0.1 mol/mol depending on product gas temperature

4) Total H2 production minus recycle stream required for feed gas. 4) Dynamic range of one module.

5) Dynamic range of one module. So, in any plant the min load would be 5 MW.

  • »With the commissioning of this first electrolyzer, RWE has officially started to produce hydrogen in Lingen. These 250 kilowatts of electrolysis capacity for the GET H2 TransHyDE research project are an important first step for us, and it will quickly be followed by others«

  • »With the innovative production of synthetic methanol, crude oil and natural gas can be replaced in the chemical industry and the required raw materials can be produced in a climate-neutral way. In this way, we are making a contribution to the decarbonization of basic chemicals.«
    Thomas Behrends
    Managing Director — TotalEnergies Raffinerie Mitteldeutschland
  • »GrInHy3.0 will be the next step forward in our successful GrInHy project series. High-temperature electrolysis uses waste heat from our production processes; it therefore requires comparatively little electricity and its market maturity is within reach.«
