Power-To-X: Sunfire reports successful test run of co-electrolysis system of >500 hours; e-Crude demo targeted

Green Car Congress

The aim is to demonstrate the integrated production of e-Crude, a synthetic crude oil substitute, by the end of August 2019—the first in a 2-step process of this magnitude made possible by co-electrolysis. The global demand for electrolysis technologies to produce green, renewable hydrogen is estimated at more than 3,000 gigawatts.
