SOFC stack
Elcogen is manufacturing solid oxide fuel cell stacks and has started rst deliveries to customers. Current version of the stack available for deliveries is rated for 500 W. It is based on 30 Elcogen ASC-10B cells, metallic interconnects and glass based sealants. Stack has excellent electrical performance between 600 700 C with ASR measured to be 0.5 Ohm/cm2 (at 650C, Uf = 46 %). Reduced operating temperature enables the use of low cost materials with good long term stability. Reduced operating temperature also enables major cost reduction in BoP components such as for air recuperator and heat insulation. Elcogen is introducing stack for 1 kW systems during 2013. Stack will be based on similar material system as the current 500 W stack.

Production facilities
Our small-series production facility has been set up in Tallinn, Estonia. We have paste manufacturing laboratory, all necessary tape-cast, screen-print, ring and quality control machinery. Our SOFC single cell technology is designed in a way that it is easily scalable to larger output quantities. Our cells are produced entirely in-house starting from powders.
