Elcogen delivers electrolysis stack for green ammonia production

Elcogen, the European manufacturer of clean energy technology that delivers affordable green H2 and emission-free electricity, announced the delivery of its elcoStack® technology to the EU funded project, areNHa.

Elcogen’s solid oxide stack technology offers an efficient solution for green H2 production to the project, as an essential part of the green ammonia synthesis process. Elcogen is the world’s most advanced manufacturer of ceramic electrode-supported, low-temperature solid oxide cells and stacks, delivering market-leading electrical efficiency.

Advanced materials and reactors for energy storage through ammonia (ARENHA), is a European project seeking to develop, integrate and demonstrate key material solutions that enable the use of ammonia for flexible, safe, and profitable energy storage as well as for utilization as fuel. ARENHA demonstrates the practicality of ammonia as a dispatchable form of large-scale energy storage, enabling the integration of renewable energy across Europe, as well as creating a door to the global distribution of green energy.

The objectives of ARENHA will be tackled by 11 organizations across 7 countries (Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, France, United Kingdom and Spain) to form a new and complete ammonia supply chain from European sources.

This project will develop a green H2 generator for the production of ammonia that demonstrates the advantage of ammonia use as a key constitute of energy storage and transportation as well as a carbon free synthetic fuel for combustion engines and direct ammonia fuel cells. A demonstration of the ammonia production system will be available in 2024.

Enn Õunpuu, CEO of Elcogen Group, said, “I am delighted with the recent delivery of our Solid Oxide cell and stack technology to EU financed ARENHA project. Ammonia’s versatility enables it to be a significant form of large-scale energy storage, as well as a fuel for combustion engines, requires an efficient production method to ensure the affordability of green energy. Our involvement in the project significantly provides that whilst also demonstrates Elcogen’s ability to provide the world’s most efficient solution to green H2 production which will also enable the EU to meet its net-zero targets with affordable green energy. This is an exciting time for the Company as it continues to expand through our world leading research and development that enables the production of green H2 for a greener future.”
