IntroductionSolid oxide electrolysis - potential usage
Water electrolysis
2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2
• H2 can be used directly or indirectly for e.g. biogas upgrading
CO2 electrolysis
2 CO2 → 2 CO + O2
• CO2 from flue gas stream or air
• Can be used for CO and O2 production
Co-electrolysis
CO2 + H2O → H2 + CO + O2
• Syngas (H2 + CO) can be converted into CO2-neutral transportation fuel (CH4, diesel, etc.)

Conclusions
1) CO2 reduction in SOEC works and the technology is ready!It is now a matter of reducing costs..
2) Carbon deposition and sulfur poisoning are more problematic issues than expected in full cells and stacks.
3) To optimize efficiency further, Ni-free catalyst is needed!
