Elcogen and its partner Convion have announced a successful breakthrough in green hydrogen production via its solid oxide electrolyser technology.
The system can deliver hydrogen at superior efficiency compared to incumbent technologies, and the two companies have now concluded a test period of 2,000 hours. Convion’s solid oxide electrolyser was equipped with Elcogen’s cell technology, validating good performance and operability.
Completed at steady state operation and 1,000 rapid power cycles, the test campaign saw the system perform with efficiencies of over 85%, equating to 39kWh of electrical energy per kilogramme of green hydrogen produced.
