Changing the Power Game:
Cost-effective Fuel Cells

The world still runs on combustion engines that waste 60% of their fuel

Clean energy alternatives exist but are too expensive or hard to scale. The energy transition has a “last mile” problem.

The reversible Solid Oxide Cell (rSOC)* has been the promised technology for the energy transition for 20+ years. But the expected price reduction due to volume savings has not yet been realized, and no cost advantage has been achieved so far, particularly in smaller modular systems.

Circonica’s Stack design is a flexible and clean solution for small and medium power demands, and cuts rSOC stack cost by 7x.

Our advantages

Our solid oxide cells have several advantages over internal combustion engines and other fuel cells.

Cost-effective

Highly industrialised and proven processes are used for the production of our cells to lower the investment cost.

Fuel-flexible

Due to the high operating temperatures of these cells they can convert most conventional- and future-fuels directly into electricity and heat.

Reliable

State-of-the-art materials are used to make sure the cells are able to provide power 24/7 for tens of thousands of hours.

Efficient

Fuel cell technology is able to reach high electrical efficiencies of 60% and total efficiencies of 95% and above when the heat is also put to good use.

Carbon circularity & negative emissions

Circonica’s solution can help to achieve net-zero and even negative CO2 emissions by creating a circular carbon supply chain.

This can be applied in multiple sectors such as mobility (see video below) and telecommunications. Circonica, in collaboration with Liberty Global and the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE), have described several use-cases for cable network operators to achieve this. These can be found in the whitepaper published in the SCTE Technical Journal vol. 2, no. 2, July 2022.
