Based on Wobo's unique SOEC technology, we offer zero-carbon solutions that couple perfectly with renewable energy sources like wind and solar. This technology is designed to match the rapid fluctuations of renewable energy, aiding industries such as steel, chemical, and cement to achieve zero carbon emissions.

Electrochemical Plants

Electrochemical plants benefit significantly from SOEC technology, which converts electrical energy directly into chemical energy. SOEC can electrolyze water and CO2 to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, serving as sources for green hydrogen and syngas. This process significantly reduces carbon emissions and utilizes renewable energy, further decreasing the carbon footprint.

 Hydrogen Energy

SOEC technology excels in hydrogen production by efficiently electrolyzing water at high temperatures. Compared to traditional low-temperature electrolysis, it offers higher energy conversion efficiency and lower power consumption. The produced hydrogen can be used as clean energy for fuel cells, industrial reductants, or direct combustion, reducing CO2 emissions.

Advantages:

Low LCOH: Efficient hydrogen production reduces power usage and significantly lowers LCOH costs.

Fluctuation Coupling: Seamlessly integrates with renewable energy systems, handling load fluctuations from 5% to 100%.

Heat Recovery: SOEC electrolyzers can couple with industrial waste heat, lowering hydrogen production costs.

High Safety: Real-time monitoring and alerts, rapid response, and low technical safety risks.

Modular: Easy installation and high scalability due to modular design.

Smart: High automation level, simple, reliable, and safe operation.

3.Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC)

SOFC technology is closely related to SOEC, converting chemical energy into electrical energy, while SOEC performs the reverse. Integrating SOFC and SOEC creates an efficient energy storage and conversion system, electrolyzing during surplus power and discharging during peak demand. This cycle enhances overall energy system efficiency and renewable energy utilization.

4.Electrolysis of Carbon Monoxide

SOEC can electrolyze CO2 to produce carbon monoxide (CO), a key component of syngas used for synthesizing fuels and chemicals like methanol and ethanol. This process captures and utilizes carbon, turning CO2 into valuable products and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, making it valuable in the chemical industry.

Advantages:

On-Demand Production: Produces CO on-site as needed, offering greater flexibility.

High Purity: Achieves 5N purity, or 99.999vol%.

High Safety: On-site production eliminates storage and transport risks associated with CO.

Integrated Design: Modular container design for easy installation and small footprint.

Smart: High automation level, simple, reliable, and safe operation.

5.Syngas Production

Syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) generated by SOEC technology is a versatile intermediate for producing various chemicals and fuels. Applications include Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, methanol synthesis, and ammonia synthesis. Converting syngas into liquid fuels and chemicals achieves carbon neutrality and reduces fossil fuel dependence.

Advantages:

Syngas can be converted into high-value chemicals like synthetic oil, methanol, and olefins.

Traditional preparation relies on fossil materials like coal, oil, and natural gas.

Electrochemical capture solution uses electrochemical alkaline electrolyte, reducing energy consumption.

Application Scenarios

Metallurgy:

 SOEC-based gas shaft furnace processes can replace coke blast furnace steelmaking. SOEC can also electrolyze recovered CO₂ to CO for direct reduction iron processes, achieving net-zero emissions in hydrogen metallurgy.

Ammonia Synthesis

SOEC can efficiently produce green hydrogen, which is used as a raw material for ammonia synthesis. The waste heat steam from the ammonia synthesis process can be used as a feedstock for SOEC electrolysis to produce hydrogen.

Methanol Synthesis

SOEC can efficiently co-electrolyze CO₂ and H₂O to produce syngas, which is then used to synthesize green methanol. The waste heat steam generated during methanol synthesis can be used as a feedstock for the SOEC electrolysis process, achieving efficient closed-loop energy utilization.

Chemical Synthesis

By adjusting the H₂/CO ratio in syngas, various hydrocarbon chemicals such as ethanol, dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol, acetic acid, olefins, aromatics, higher alcohols, synthetic waxes, and pharmaceutical intermediates can be produced, driving a carbon-neutral revolution in organic chemistry.

Synthetic Fuels

SOEC can efficiently co-electrolyze CO₂ and H₂O to produce syngas, which is then used to produce eFuels like gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel, helping to deeply decarbonize the transportation sector.

Hydrogen Storage

rSOC is a reversible electrochemical device that can both electrolyze water to produce hydrogen and generate electricity. In electrolysis mode, the system efficiency exceeds 84%, while in power generation mode, the electrical efficiency exceeds 60%, and the combined heat and power efficiency exceeds 90%.
