Fuel Cells / Hydrogenation Equipment EU Company B
A leading company in medium-sized systems with over 20 years of experience in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)/hydrogenation equipment (SOEC).
The company’s system is a groundbreaking product in that the same stack structure functions as both an SOEC hydrogenation equipment that produces hydrogen from electricity, and an SOFC fuel cell equipment that produces electricity from various fuels such as hydrogen, biofuel, and natural gas.
The company is a venture company with 250 customers and has been invested in by VC8. The green hydrogen market in which the company is involved is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of >35% in the future, reaching a market of 2.8 trillion yen by 2030.
Advantages when used as a fuel cell (SOFC)
Gas-fired power generation has a power generation efficiency of about 38% (42% conversion, 10% transmission grid loss) with significant CO2 emissions. SOFC technology has a power generation efficiency of at least 60%, zero grid loss due to decentralized power generation, and total efficiency of up to 90% is possible if heat is provided. In addition, the diversity of fuels that can be used is also attractive.
Advantages when used as a hydrogenation unit (SOEC)
High efficiency is one of the features of the company’s systems, but they also boast high current density and durability, allowing for flexible application.
