Successful H2 production by HTES by ELCOGEN

The C2FUEL project has reached an important milestone as hydrogen was successfully produced at the nominal production rate (1 Nm3/h) by Elcogen with the high-temperature steam electrolysis system. Elcogen’s electrolyzers are based on solid oxide technology that enables substantial efficiency improvements compared to today’s state of the art technologies. Next tasks in the C2FUEL project

1000 hours of CO2 capture and regeneration from blast furnace gas achieved!

C2FUEL is happy to announce, after minor technical difficulties and a global pandemic, that the first 1000-hour degradation campaign of a CO2 capture solvent (30wt% MEA) with industrial blast-furnace gas has been achieved. The demonstration – using a minipilot conceived by ENGIE Lab CRIGEN and CNRS-LRGP – was conducted on the DK6 site in Dunkirk,
