KIMM achieves breakthrough in clean hydrogen production with Korea’s first 20kW SOEC system
National Research Council of Science & TechnologyThe Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST, Chairman Young-Shik Kim), has announced the successful development and demonstration of Korea’s first 20kW-class anode-supported solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system.
The system achieved more than 3,000 hours of stable, continuous operation with electrical efficiency exceeding 83%, marking a significant step toward the large-scale, cost-efficient production of clean hydrogen. This accomplishment lays the groundwork for the integration of hydrogen production with renewable energy and nuclear power, supporting Korea’s transition to a hydrogen economy and carbon neutrality.
