| Abstract Scope |
Advanced ceramics have enormous potential for innovations in the fields of energy storage and environmental technology. We present new results for ceramic based steam electrolysis systems SOE (solid oxide electrolysis). SOE offers two essential unique advantages:
1). 30 % higher efficiency for power to green hydrogen conversion compared to competing technologies (e.g. alkaline and PEM electrolysis) with the use of waste heat.
2). Co-electrolysis capability, i.e. both water steam and CO2 can be simultaneously reduced to form syngas (H2 + CO). With this, CO2 can be actively removed from the environment. The produced syngas can be used for PtX products like e-fuel, higher alcohols, waxes, etc. For this, we present a fully integrated co-electrolysis Fischer Tropsch System.
Moreover, the production of green ammonia NH3 by a combination of SOE with the Haber Bosch process is addressed. |
