Elcogen partners with Korean firms to launch commercial SOFC unit

摘要

Estonia-based Elcogen has signed a Letter of Intent with solid oxide fuel cell stack manufacturer E&KOA and SOFC system integrator P&P Energytech in South Korea, to collaborate towards the commercialisation of SOFC systems for the commercial building market in South Korea and beyond. E&KOA is developing a 1 kW SOFC stack for the mass market, while P&P Energytech has previously developed PEM, molten carbonate and SOFC testing equipment, and supplied fuel cell systems for leading automotive companies. Under their agreement, Elcogen will supply solid oxide fuel cells, which E&KOA will utilise in SOFC stacks, and P&P Energytech will integrate into a 10 kW SOFC system for launch into the commercial stationary power market within three years. P&P Energytech has been working with Elcogen for the last two years to validate the latter's SOFC technology.
