In one system, Teragen’s advanced solid oxide cell platform can:

• Generate power from external fuels without combustion, or

• Store energy at low cost.

Key features

• Fuel-flexible: Runs on natural gas or hydrogen.

• Efficient: Converts fuel to power more efficiently than other technologies.

• Flexible: Ramps up quickly and matches load fluctuations due to better thermal stress tolerance than other fuel cell architectures.

• Affordable: Delivers the lowest cost of energy by reducing expensive materials and delivering high efficiencies.

• Low Emissions: no combustion means minimal local pollutants.

• Reversible: Stores power as hydrogen (charging/electrolysis mode), then runs in reverse to deliver stored energy (discharge/fuel cell mode).

• Validated: Developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with support from US Dept. of Energy and ARPA-E.
