The Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy is offering this grant through its Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) Core Technology Program. This initiative supports basic research and development crucial for the commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The grant specifically targets the development of SOFCs capable of operating on coal-derived synthesis gas fuels. It aims to address technical challenges and barriers faced by SECA Industry Teams, with a strong emphasis on enhancing the reliability, robustness, and endurance of SOFC stacks to commercially viable levels, while simultaneously achieving cost reduction goals. The R&D outcomes will be shared broadly to prevent duplication and foster U.S. leadership in SOFC-based stationary power generation.
