High temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) using a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) is known to be a more efficient way to produce hydrogen than conventional water electrolysis because the electricity consumption can be significantly reduced when the electrolyzer cell is operated at high temperature. Another advantage of SOECs is that they can operate reversibly as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), producing electricity with high efficiency by consuming the stored hydrogen.
