US-based synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) developer Syntholene believes geothermally-integrated solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) is the “critical unlock” to cheap hydrogen, derivatives, and e-fuels.
That was the message from CEO Dan Sutton as he sat down with H2 View, just days after the company produced its first green hydrogen molecules from its demonstration facility in Húsavík, Iceland.
According to a Syntholene-commissioned report by engineering firm KBR, under highly favourable electricity pricing and heat sourcing arrangements, the company’s technology stack could achieve a levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) as low as $1.75/kg.
