European technology firm Elcogen has opened a 14,000 sq m solid oxide fuel cell facility in Tallinn, Estonia.

The ELCO I site delivers a significant jump in production capacity – from 10MW to 360MW – and its cells, stacks and modules can be integrated into third-party systems for a wide range of applications including distributed energy, off-grid and stationary power, industrial backup, green hydrogen production, and power-to-X solutions.

“This new facility is built for scale, speed, and global impact,” said Enn Õunpuu, CEO of Elcogen. “As demand for reliable solid oxide-based clean energy … accelerates worldwide, Elcogen is now … positioned to deliver the high-performance technology the market needs, at commercial volumes.”

The €50m operation is powered by a 9MW energy supply from the nearby Iru Waste-to-Energy Plant and incorporates sustainability measures such as process heat reuse and thermal oxidisers to reduce emissions.
