Solid-oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) and solid-oxide fuel-cell (SOFC) technologies are making waves in the power generation and hydrogen production sectors. SOEC, with efficiencies exceeding 90% when integrated with external heat sources, is becoming a go-to choice for industrial hydrogen and e-Fuels production. Topsoe A/S's plans for a 1 GW SOEC factory in Virginia and collaborations with ABB and Fluor Corp. highlight the sector's expansion. The synergy between Rolls-Royce SMR and SOEC technology showcased cost-effective hydrogen production below €3.50/kg, with potential to decrease to €2.00/kg by 2050. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Takasago Hydrogen Park in Japan and other global developments emphasize the increasing efficiency and adoption of SOEC technologies. Bloom Energy's SOFC technology partnerships with CoreWeave, Shell, and SK ecoPlant, as well as Ceres Power Holdings plc's global license agreement, point towards a promising future for solid-oxide technologies in various industries worldwide.
