A project working to produce novel 1 kW SOFC stacks and proofs of concept for 10 kWe SOFC stacks.

A type of fuel cell that uses a solid ceramic material as its electrolyte. It operates at high temperatures and can utilize various fuels including natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen.

Solid oxide fuel cells are high-temperature fuel cells that use a solid ceramic electrolyte to generate electricity from fuels such as natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen, offering high electrical efficiency and suitability for stationary power.[10] Bloom Energy is a leading commercial provider of SOFC systems, often installed on customer premises to deliver reliable, lower‑emission baseload power for facilities including data centers and critical infrastructure.[6]

The mode of operation for solid oxide cells when used for electrolysis, typically to produce hydrogen.
