| Abstract Scope |
Advanced ceramic materials offer enormous potential for innovations in the fields of energy conversion and storage as well as decarbonization. To cope with the fluctuation of renewable power, storage technology is needed. We present NaNiCl solid state batteries as a Li-free and safe technology for short term storage and latest results on SOE (solid oxide electrolysis) for green hydrogen long term storage.
Furthermore, SOE can be employed as a powerful technology for highly efficient CCU (carbon capture and utilization) applications. For this, SOE is used in the co-electrolysis mode for syngas (H2 and CO) production. In the co-electrolysis mode, CO2 is actively removed from the environment and fed into the SOE system. By the Fischer Tropsch processes this syngas can be transferred to e-fuels and other chemical products. We also present examples using SOE for combined CCU and CDA (carbon direct avoidance) applications in green steel production. Applying this technology, even allows to produce CO2 “negative” steel. |
