Under this MoU, the two enterprises will discover commercial ventures of mutual interest
Elcogen has entered right into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Casale, a worldwide provider of technologies and included engineering solutions to supply ammonia and different base chemicals. This is a non-exclusive Memorandum so one can permit the parties to collaborate on green ammonia and other Power-to-X (P2X) ventures.
Under this MoU, the two enterprises will discover commercial ventures of mutual interest, with a purpose to combine Elcogen’s solid oxide electrolysis stack and stack module technology into Casale’s plants, and potentially different P2X applications globally. In turn, Elcogen can offer their technology platform and related technical services to help Casale in its process design efforts for developers on the international market.
This partnership marks a significant milestone within the green energy transition, with the opportunity of combining Casale’s confirmed, mature process design expertise with Elcogen’s modern Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) technology for highly efficient green hydrogen manufacturing.
Combining Elcogen’s efficient SOEC technology with Casale’s high-performance ammonia solutions, the parties may be able to advocate main solutions to the inexperienced ammonia marketplace. SOEC is perfectly suited to integration with industrial techniques, generating hydrogen without delay where it is required as feedstock.
“Solid oxide technology is on the right track to reach cost parity with PEM and Alkaline systems quickly, and once it does, it’s going to offer even more value. With a lower levelized cost of hydrogen, more scalability, and a lack of reliance on precious material like iridium and platinum, it’s a future-proof technology that’s anticipated to turn out to be a main participant in the green ammonia space as it matures. This will offer a competitive benefit to each enterprise,” stated Mikael Jansen, Director of Business Development at Elcogen, adding, “This MoU is an thrilling leap forward. With over a hundred years of experience, Casale is a world-class player, and we’re humbled that a major ammonia technology issuer shares our same vision. Together, we’re making a tangible contribution to world sustainability goals. We’re poised to set a brand new trendy for sustainable ammonia manufacturing”.
SOEC technology gives unparalleled benefits as compared to water electrolysis. It demands less electricity to supply hydrogen because of quicker and more efficient kinetics, and it could use steam generated from the waste heat of industrial procedures – including ammonia production – in addition reducing the electricity needed for hydrogen production. Unlike water electrolysis, it produces little to no waste heat itself.
The elcoStack technology platform operates at a decrease temperature in comparison to many different solutions whilst keeping high efficiency and energy densities, providing a easier and greater value-efficient solution for integrating stable oxide technology into an electrolyser system.
“Observing Elcogen’s achievements in solid oxide technology, we see a notably complementary fit with Casale’s deep expertise in procedure integration and plant design. This collaboration opens new opportunities for industries applications of green hydrogen, mainly in ammonia manufacturing and also in other technologies. We consider this partnership will permit each enterprise to discover innovative solutions in the Power-to-X space, constructing on our shared commitment to boost up the energy transition,” stated Federico Zardi, CEO of Casale SA.
