MHI eyes commercialisation of SOEC technology
Japanese company launches test module at Takasago Hydrogen Park with aim to deploy megawatt-scale demonstration project of electrolyser technology
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) aims to commercialise its solid-oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) electrolyser technology within the next few years after launching a test module this month at Takasago Hydrogen Park in Takasago City, west-central Japan. The test module, with a capacity of 400kW, was designed and manufactured based on technology adopted for solid-oxide fuel cells. It comprises a module with multiple cartridges of 500 cell stacks bundled together. The next step in the development process will be the launch of a megawatt-scale demonstration plant in the next few years, the Japanese firm said. MHI has successfully conducted cartridge tests and is “steadily making progress toward
