🏭Fuji Electric Develops Business SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell)

Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. has announced that the prospect evaluation by the subsidized project of NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) has been completed, and the prospect for the development of commercial SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) has been announced .

SOFC development status

Since SOFC has higher power generation efficiency than PAFC, its practical application is strongly desired.

Since FY 2014, we have participated in NEDO subsidized projects (demonstration of commercialization of commercial systems using solid oxide fuel cells), and have been developing elemental technologies and demonstrating and evaluating 50 kW class business SOFC. In the final year of FY 2017, we carried out a verification test in our Chiba Works and carried out basic characterization and durability evaluation of over 3,000 hours.

We confirmed that stable operation is possible.
