Product Overview
Overview
Solid Oxide Cells (SOFC) Sunfire manufactures solid oxide cells for the incorporation in fuel cells and steam electrolyzers. The company offers two fuel cell systems: a 400 W fuel cell-only and 1.2 kW solar-plus-fuel cell mobile unit for remote and off-grid sites and a 750 W CHP system for residential sites. Both systems are fueled by propane or natural gas.
Hydrogen: Sunfire Hylink electrolyzers produce renewable hydrogen - targeted for industries as well as the energy and mobility sectors.
Syngas: Sunfire SynLink electrolysers produce renewable syngas - the feed gas for different hydrocarbon products such as e-Fuel and chemicals.
E-Fuel: Synthetic transport fuels ("e-Fuel") produced from renewable syngas substitute fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Electrolysis Solutions
- Alkaline Electrolyzers
- SOEC Electrolyzers
Business Model
Per system, from private home use to utility scale application.
Technology Innovations
- Solid oxide cell stack consists of low cost ceramics and steel and can be used for both hydrogen and electricity production.
- Sunfire's pressurized Alkaline electrolyzer can be used for applications with or without limited steam availability and has a system lifetime of at least 90,000 operating hours.
- All systems utilize modern modular system design.
Applications
Waste heat hydrogen production: industrial waste steam output conversion to hydrogen fuel, which can then be used as electricity supply and reducing energy costs.
Remote power: small mobile unit for small remote power needs, targeted to the oil and gas industry.
E-FUEL: Sunfire's SynLink SOEC technology allows for cost-effective production of various e-Fuel blends, suitable for fuel suppliers, airlines, and logistics companies.
Industrial Use: Sunfire's SynLink electrolyzer aids the chemical industry by producing syngas from CO2 sources, which can then be used as a primary feedstock in various chemical processes to manufacture products such as fertilizers, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and others.
