Cell materials will be improved, esp. glass sealings and interconnectors
Test on long-term stability and degradation will be conducted on stack level (at least 10,000 h operation), degradation target is less than 1 % / 1000 h
Corrosion properties and protective coatings will be examined
SOEC and RSOC System
Scale up of stack module from 4 to 6 ICMs to increase power Level
Raise of power level per stack
Proof of fuel flexibility in SOFC mode
Proof of RSOC ability to produce high quality renewable hydrogen for onsite use or vehicles
Integration of a RSOC system in an existing plant with benefits for both sides
Natural Gas Processing
Improved natural gas processing via catalytic reforming in varying conditions without catalyst coking
