MODEC and Eld Energy partner to develop SOFC power generation system for FPSOs

MODEC and Eld Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a 1.2 MW solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)-based power system integrated with carbon capture for future FPSO applications.

Under the agreement, Eld Energy will lead the design, procurement and construction of the SOFC-based power system, while MODEC will develop the carbon capture facility and integrate the combined system into future FPSOs. Land-based testing is scheduled for 2029, followed by a long-term demonstration program aimed at reducing carbon emissions from offshore power generation.
