Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., and Kyushu University have been working together on multiple projects for developing intermediate-temperature SOFCs. Substantial technical advancement has been made in manufacturing SOFC units ranging from a 1 -kW class module to a scalable 10-kW class combined heat and power (CHP) system. The core technology is based on high-performance cells operable in a temperature window between 600° and 800°C.
