Abstract[English]
The present invention relates to a method for operating a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack, the SOEC having a fuel (cathode) side and an oxy (anode) side. The SOEC stack is adapted for at least steam electrolysis to hydrogen. The invention further relates to a system and a plant suitable for carrying out the method. Specifically, the invention relates to using methanol as a reducing agent or using methanol for supplying a reducing agent in an SOEC.[French]
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'un empilement de cellules d'électrolyse à oxyde solide (SOEC), la SOEC ayant un côté combustible (cathode) et un côté oxy (anode). L'empilement de SOEC est conçu pour au moins l'électrolyse de vapeur d'eau en hydrogène. L'invention concerne en outre un système et une usine destinés à mettre en œuvre le procédé. En particulier, l'invention concerne l'utilisation de méthanol en tant qu'agent réducteur ou l'utilisation de méthanol pour fournir un agent réducteur dans une SOEC.
