Elcogen supplies technology for Renewable Energy based BEV Charging Station Solution

Tallinn, Estonia: Elcogen, a leading European solid oxide fuel cell manufacturer headquartered in Estonia, is pleased to announce a supply partnership with WattAnyWhere to power a charging station technology demonstrator for battery electric vehicles.

Making renewable electricity available everywhere is one of the key challenges in the energy transition landscape that is required to combat climate change. Pioneering company WattAnyWhere based in Sion, Switzerland has developed a solution that enables off-grid electricity generation from renewable ethanol, bringing green power to locations where grid expansion is not possible.

WattAnyWhere has chosen the market leading solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack technology from Elcogen, to build the technology demonstrator. Elcogen’s SOFC technology is one of the most efficient ways to convert renewable ethanol into electricity, making it an ideal choice for WattAnyWhere’s innovative BEV charging system.

WattAnyWhere’s solution complements the electric grid in areas where it is too costly or too slow to upgrade its capacity, e.g. for the charging of battery electric vehicles. This enables the fast roll out of charging infrastructure in areas of high demand or in remote places, thereby making battery electric mobility accessible to everyone. The WattAnyWhere solution uses renewable ethanol, a biofuel that is widely available already today and can easily be distributed using established supply chains.

Elcogen’s elcoStack – solid oxide cell stacks – efficiently, cleanly, and silently convert the biofuel, or alternatively natural gas or hydrogen, into electricity without a combustion process. In addition to electricity generation, Elcogen’s products can also be used to produce green hydrogen via electrolysis.

Enn Õunpuu, founder and CEO of Elcogen, said:
“Our technology is an enabler of the new energy world, providing the basis for both electricity generation and hydrogen production systems. We are excited to see innovative partners like WattAnyWhere integrating it into their ground-breaking solutions. Together with our partners and customers, we can accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy.”

Didier Roux, CEO of WattAnyWhere, added:
“Our innovative concept has attracted many backers, such as energy suppliers in France and Switzerland. We are now pleased to extend our European supply chain by partnering with Elcogen to deliver a core building block for our solution.”
