What makes your innovation unique?
SOEC – AVL's high-temperature electrolysis – is a process that makes green hydrogen affordable and efficient for use in the fields of industry, energy and mobility. It enables extremely efficient energy conversion, which reduces energy consumption, achieves higher levels of efficiency and thus lowers production costs.

Advantages
• It reduces energy consumption by 20–30%.
• Efficiencies of up to 90% can be achieved in hydrogen production – compared to the usual 50–60% in conventional processes.
• The system supports Europe in remaining competitive with respect to green energy while fulfilling the Green Deal.

Awards
• FCH Award for Best Project Innovation – 2019
