A Clean Hydrogen JU project which aims to remove scale as the limiting factor in the deployment of SOEL technologies.
关于我们
The objective of OUTFOX is to eliminate the scale restriction in the implementation of Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEL) technologies and demonstrate their potential as the preferred option for producing green hydrogen. Through the integration of experimental findings up to the 80kW scale and the identification of optimal cell and system designs, OUTFOX plans to equip SOEL for large-scale industrial systems of over 100MW with a reduced Levelized Cost of Hydrogen of €2.7/kg H2 and suitability for mass manufacturing lines. The industrially driven consortium will pool its expertise in cell, stack, and module development, along with manufacturing and full system evaluation, to advance the maturity of SOEL and contribute to the objectives of the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA. The overall sustainability will be enhanced by reducing overall material requirements, where OUTFOX will achieve current densities of at least 0.85 A/cm2 using cells that are 25% thinner than the current state-of-the-art cells. Scaling up will be approached from two angles: 1. Developing and validating cells with geometrical areas of up to 900 cm2 that are compatible with large-scale manufacturing techniques; and 2. Validating optimized design concepts up to the full module level for commercial scale implementation The partners will test high current density operation with reference scale (144 cm2), industrial scale (>300cm2), and next-generation (900cm2) cells in single repeating units, short stacks of 15 cells, and 80kW prototype systems, resulting in over 10,000h of SOEL operation. To provide comprehensive validation of the OUTFOX technology, 2 distinct 80 kW testing campaigns with 2 different stack configurations will be conducted at the Shell facilities in Amsterdam, with over 4000 operating hours in total. This will offer crucial data for designing a 100+ MW SOEL system, including module configuration and balance of plant requirements, enabling a multi-MW demonstration after the project's conclusion.

Technology alone won’t scale green hydrogen. Regulations will make or break it. SOEL is one of the most efficient, cost-effective electrolysis technologies. But without the right policies, it risks being sidelined. What needs to happen? ? Clear certification frameworks—SOEL must be recognized in hydrogen standards. ? Incentives for industrial adoption—subsidies, tax credits, and funding must support deployment. ? Infrastructure policies—pipelines, storage, and integration with existing grids need clear regulatory pathways. Regulations will define who leads the hydrogen economy and which technologies scale first. Is policy moving fast enough to support the most efficient solutions? #SOEL #GreenHydrogen #HydrogenPolicy #EnergyRegulations #HydrogenEconomy #CleanTech #EnergyTransition

Everyone talks about green hydrogen. But few talk about how we get there. Right now, Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEL) is the most efficient way to produce hydrogen. But it's still missing from major industry roadmaps. ??85% efficiency—better than PEM and alkaline. ??Uses waste heat—cuts energy costs. ??Advanced ceramic electrolytes?improve durability and efficiency. Governments are pouring billions into hydrogen. If the goal is low-cost, high-efficiency hydrogen, shouldn't we be talking more about SOEL? #HydrogenRevolution #SOEL #EnergyInnovation #CleanTech #GreenHydrogen #FutureOfEnergy #OUTFOX

What if hydrogen production could be 30% more efficient? It can be. Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEL) is leading the way. Most electrolyzers waste energy. SOEL doesn’t. By operating at 650–1000°C, it taps into waste heat from industries, cutting electricity consumption. The result? ? 85% efficiency—far higher than PEM or alkaline electrolysis. ? Lower hydrogen costs—energy savings translate into economic viability. ? Higher hydrogen output—less energy wasted, more fuel produced. This is why SOEL is not just another electrolysis method. It’s a solution built for industrial-scale hydrogen production. Can we scale it even faster? #SOEL #HydrogenEfficiency #GreenHydrogen #CleanTech #EnergyTransition #OUTFOX

How Can Regulatory Frameworks Maximize the Potential of SOEL Technology? Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEL) has the potential to revolutionize green hydrogen production, but without the right regulatory frameworks, large-scale deployment will face significant hurdles. Standardization is not just a technical necessity—it is critical for market confidence, investor certainty, and global trade in hydrogen technologies. Key Areas Where Regulations Are Essential: Certifying Green Hydrogen: SOEL must be aligned with EU and international green hydrogen certification schemes, ensuring compliance with carbon intensity thresholds set by regulations like the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). Safety and Infrastructure Standards: High-temperature electrolysis presents unique challenges. Establishing uniform safety codes for SOEL deployment in industrial settings is key to accelerating adoption. Grid Integration and Energy Markets: SOEL efficiency improves when integrated with waste heat and flexible power markets. Policy incentives that support time-of-use electricity pricing and hydrogen storage solutions will define its economic viability. Investment and Incentives: Long-term subsidies, Contracts for Difference (CfD), and industrial carbon pricing will determine how quickly SOEL reaches price parity with fossil-fuel hydrogen. The Path Forward Global regulatory frameworks must evolve in parallel with SOEL technology to ensure seamless integration into hydrogen economies. OUTFOX is working alongside policymakers, industry leaders, and standardization bodies to shape a harmonized regulatory approach that accelerates SOEL’s commercial viability. How can policy better support the rollout of SOEL at scale? #Regulations #HydrogenEconomy #SOEL #CleanEnergy #Electrolysis #HydrogenStandards #EnergyTransition #OUTFOXproject

Scaling SOEL Beyond 100 MW—A Technical Roadmap to Large-Scale Hydrogen Production Hydrogen is poised to become a pillar of the future energy system, but its cost and production scale remain barriers to widespread adoption. The OUTFOX Project is actively developing Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEL) technology to overcome these limitations and push SOEL systems beyond 100 MW—a critical milestone for commercial viability. OUTFOX’s Approach to Scaling SOEL Our research focuses on: ? Optimizing SOEL Stack Efficiency: Manufacturing industrial-scale cells (>300 cm2) with reduced thickness (300 microns), boosting performance. ? High-Throughput Production: Moving from research-scale manufacturing to full industrial production lines, aiming for 95%+ yield efficiency. ? Hybrid Energy Systems: Pairing SOEL with solar, wind, nuclear, and waste heat sources to improve hydrogen cost-effectiveness. ? Industrial Deployment: Working with hydrogen hubs and policymakers to ensure smooth adoption of SOEL systems in steel, ammonia, and energy storage sectors. The Global Hydrogen Outlook Recent studies show that SOEL-based hydrogen could reach $1.50/kg by 2035, making it one of the most cost-effective electrolysis solutions available. With EU and U.S. hydrogen roadmaps supporting large-scale electrolyzer deployment, the OUTFOX Project is uniquely positioned to drive this transformation forward. What are the key engineering challenges that need to be solved to reach 100 MW? Let’s discuss. #HydrogenScaling #SOEL #GreenEnergy #Electrolysis #EnergyTransition #HydrogenInnovation #HydrogenEconomy #OUTFOX

What if we could store the wind and sun? ?????????????? ????????: The sun is shining, wind turbines are spinning, but there’s too much electricity for the grid to handle. Right now, a huge amount of renewable energy is wasted because we don’t have enough storage. That’s where ?????????? ?????????? ???????????????????????? ?????????? (??????????) come in. They take extra electricity and convert it into hydrogen, a clean fuel that can be stored for days, weeks, or even months! ?????? ???? ???????? ????????????????? ? It stops renewable energy from going to waste. ? Hydrogen can be used when we need it most—during low wind or sun. ? It brings us closer to a future without fossil fuels. Countries like Germany and Japan are already using SOECs to turn excess solar and wind power into hydrogen—and soon, it could power everything from your house to airplanes. The sun doesn’t always shine, but clean energy doesn’t have to stop. Ready to be part of the future? #FutureEnergy #HydrogenRevolution #SOEC #CleanTech #ClimateSolutions #OUTFOX #SOEL #GreenEnergy
