Together with its project partners, ISATEC GmbH is investigating the potential of reversible solid oxide cells in a variety of energy supply scenarios. 

A key objective is to set up a test bench for the comprehensive validation of this technology. With the reversible solid oxide cell system, it is possible to use different fuels and produce both electricity and heat, as well as use electricity to produce the fuel. This makes these cells ideal for applications where high energy efficiency, fuel flexibility and emission reduction are important. ISATEC is responsible for the simulation for use in residential and industrial quarters and for the maritime sector.

Project partners are the RWTH Aachen University - tme (Chair of Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Conversion), VERMES Microdispensing GmbH, AixCellSys GmbH, TEC4FUELS GmbH and Uniper. The project is being funded as part of the second implementation phase of the Hydrogen Clusters4Future.
