High-efficiency 1 MW Dynamic Electrolyser Unit for cost-efficient production of PtX-based green methanol

Introduction

HIFIPower-to-X (PtX) converts water and intermittent renewable energy to high-value products. As electricity constitutes approximately 80% of the P2X product cost, high conversion efficiency is critical.

Current Challenges

However, the current best solution, Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) technology, has a limited lifetime and dynamic capabilities that are a current barrier to large-scale commercialization.

Proposed Solution

Dynelectro provides a solution using a novel SOE technology with a mix of alternating (AC) and direct current (DC), called AC:DC. The technology can accommodate:

• Fluctuating green power
• Temperature variation

This adaptability increases the lifetime of SOE stacks from 2 to 10 years.

Project Goals

We seek to develop, construct, and field test a 1-Megawatt unit using this revolutionary AC:DC method and produce 100 tons of green H2 during the project period.

Deliverables

We will also deliver a startup, shutdown, and operation manual for scale-up.

Significance

This achievement is essential for Dynelectro to realize its ambitious plans for upscaling and capitalize on the projected market growth. It positions the project as a key contributor to the energy transition and the advancement of renewable low-carbon hydrogen production.
