FuelCell Energy and MHB Join Forces for Large-Scale Green Hydrogen Production
The FuelCell Energy and MHB partnership addresses two key challenges in green hydrogen production: high electricity costs and hefty capital investment. FuelCell Energy’s solid oxide technology requires less energy input compared to lower efficiency and low-temperature electrolysis.MHB’s expertise in modular construction and scalability is poised to cut down capital expenses for extensive electrolyzer projects. The outcome? A solution that generates zero-carbon hydrogen, powering countless homes in a cost-effective, environmentally friendly manner.
About Fuelcell Energy’s Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) Technology
Fuelcell Energy’s SOEC electrolysis system is at the forefront of green hydrogen production technology. The modular design allows for scalability, flexibility, and unmatched efficiency in converting renewable energy into high-purity hydrogen.
Solid Oxide Electrolysis
Solid oxide electrolysis uses less electricity to produce hydrogen and can reduce energy costs and consumption.
FuelCell Energy’s Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) produces hydrogen at nearly 90 percent electrical efficiency without excess heat and can reach 100 percent efficiency when using excess heat. Hydrogen produced from electrolysis can be stored long term and transported, allowing energy from wind, solar, and nuclear to be available on demand.
Low-cost hydrogen production
The largest factor in the cost of electrolysis-produced hydrogen is the cost of electricity. Consequently, efficiency is one of the most effective ways to lower cost. We believe FuelCell Energy’s solid oxide platform is among the most efficient available electrolysis technologies. This is expected to translate to a 20 – 30 percent lower cost of hydrogen compared to lower efficiency and low-temperature electrolysis.

Hydrogen Production Calculator
Compared to lower efficiency electrolyzers, FuelCell Energy’s Solid Oxide Electrolyzer (SOEC) can potentially reduce the cost of hydrogen production by up to 30 percent. FuelCell Energy’s SOEC platform will produce more hydrogen with the same amount of electricity or require less renewable electricity to produce the same amount of hydrogen. This calculator compares FuelCell Energy’s SOEC solution (producing dry hydrogen at 1 bar pressure from liquid water input) to low-temperature electrolyzers with the same input and output scope.
