Whether you are building a combined heat and power system (CHP) or off-grid genset, the elcoStack provides the highest efficiency power generation. Your system can run on e.g. biogas or natural gas today and on hydrogen in the future, providing low OPEX and protecting your investment.

We have shown a market leading electrical efficiency of more than 75% in fuel cell mode with our commercial grade elcoStack E3000.
The elcoStack can use different fuels like biogas, natural gas, and hydrogen to generate electrical power. On top of that, most hydrocarbons can be converted into electricity with the elcoStack in combination with a fuel processing system.
Our stacks are running at a low operating temperature, making it easier to integrate them into your system. The operating temperature is in the range of 570 – 720 °C for the fuel cell mode. The reduced operating temperature is beneficial in selecting reliable and cost-effective balance of plant components. Because of the reduced temperature, you can e.g., connect more stacks in series and reduce your DC/DC converter losses and costs. You can also reduce the amount of costly heat insulation material because of reduced heat losses.
The elcoStack E3000 is an ideal building block for large fuel cell and electrolysis systems. The design principle of the elcoStack is to enable easy integration of multiple stacks around one gas distribution structure enabling standardised pipe connection options.
This integrated structure is called elcoModule. elcoModules are supplied at the moment with one, two and four stack configurations, and customisation can be done on request.
Our experienced engineers can support you in all stages of system development. Starting from validating your test procedures via system design reviews up to on-line or on-site support during the start-up of your prototype, we will make sure that your application works perfectly with our stacks. This reduces your development effort and cost and ensures a faster time to market for your system. We routinely perform the following tasks in support of our customer’s system development:
For lab testing the performance of the elcoStack in an R&D environment, we offer closed air electrode stacks in two different power levels. These are optimised for single stack use in existing test rigs and are easy to set up.
