Reversibly operating fuels cells for clean energy and long-term storage

Introduction

The main innovation of Reverion is a patented (2 patents already granted, 4 submitted, and another 6 planned) disruptive new system architecture/design for high-temperature fuel cells (or Solid Oxide Cells – SOCs).

System Components

We are not producing the SOCs but purchasing those from established SOC manufacturers. The individual subcomponents of a Reverion system are commercially available.

Innovative Design

However, the system design, meaning the arrangement and use of the components, and the control algorithms of the closed cycle are brand new and highly innovative. It leverages synergies no other product can achieve, such as the unprecedented efficiencies.

Efficiency Achievements

By combining reversible solid oxide fuel cells with a two-stage offgas recovery, we can achieve:

1. Complete fuel utilization
2. Record-breaking efficiencies:
   • 80% electrical efficiency for power generation
   • An even higher efficiency in electrolysis mode (energy storage, Power-to-Gas - production of hydrogen or biomethane as desired)
