Abstract: The decision of the European Union to make Europe the first carbon dioxide-neutral continent on earth pushes environmental-friendly technologies in all technical areas drastically forward. Thus, for the energy sector the conversion of kinetic energy into electricity must be ensured by non CO2-emitting techniques like wind and solar power (so called regenerative sources). As both are depending on natural limitations (wind blowing, sun shining) electricity storage becomes the dominant pre-requisite for such a regenerative-based energy future. Therefore, electrolyzers (low- and high-temperature) will be established in the future to a large extent. As SOECs are typically based on classical SOFC technology they are easily available and capable of being integrated. One additional aspect to the carbon-neutral future is that all technologies must also be striven forward with respect to refurbishing, reuse or recycling (Fig. 1). Within the “Energiewende” the German government has proclaimed the goal of “green hydrogen” as basis of its use as direct fuel or first link to an e-fuel or chemical development chain. In this context, a BMBF-funded technology platform H2Giga was founded with the aim of establishing the existing electrolyzer technologies on an industrial scale. Part of the technology platform is a recycling-related project called ReNaRe aiming for recycling possibilities and strategies for electrolyzers. The own research will focus on the first steps within the project dealing with recycling and reuse of either the metallic parts or the ceramic parts of an SOEC stack. The required stack or stack parts are delivered by Hexis and Jülich and hopefully also from Sunfire (being part of H2Giga) and characterized with respect to recycling possibilities, ways and technologies. First recycling ideas related to different SOC designs will be presented.
