Advancing Solid Oxide Cells for Efficient Hydrogen Conversion: The AMPS Project
Key Ideas
- Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) are set to revolutionize the efficiency of hydrogen conversion to electricity, supported by the European AMPS project.
- Key players in the project include European excellence centers like VTT, Elcogen, and Politecnico di Torino, advancing economic and environmental analyses.
- An upcoming international workshop will showcase practical experiences with SOFC and SOEC, offering insights into future high-temperature electrochemical technologies.
- Themes like green ammonia production, fuel cell plants, and biogas utilization will be explored, highlighting the potential of SOCs in industrial sectors.
Solid oxide cells, also known as SOCs, are emerging as groundbreaking devices that can significantly enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and flexibility of converting hydrogen into electricity and vice versa. The European project AMPS is actively pushing this technology towards large-scale industrial production. This initiative involves various European centers of excellence such as VTT, Elcogen, Smartal, Haikutech, and Politecnico di Torino, focusing on economic, environmental, and regulatory analyses. To delve deeper into the potential of these technologies, an international online workshop titled 'SOC-based technologies for the energy transition' is scheduled for May 30, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. This event, organized by the Politecnico di Torino, will feature presentations on the AMPS project, practical applications of SOFC and SOEC across different industrial sectors, and future visions for high-temperature electrochemical technologies. Participants can also expect case studies on electrolysers for green ammonia production, fuel cell plants in industrial settings, and the utilization of biogas. The workshop aims to drive discussions on the research prospects and applications of SOCs. Registration is required to participate in this free event.
