W dniach 16-18 lipca 2019 r. w University of Aveiro w Portugalii (UoA) miało miejsce spotkanie kick-off projektu Novel approach to Power-to-Fuel: comprehensive studies of anodic processes in Direct Carbon Solid Oxide Fuel-assisted Electrolysis Cell (DC-SOFEC). Otrzymał on finansowanie ze środków Narodowego Centrum Nauki w ramach 10. konkursu programu HARMONIA. W ramach projektu koordynowanego przez Instytut Energetyki, badane będą procesy zachodzące w części elektrody powietrznej stałotlenkowego elektrolizera wspomaganego paliwem stałym – DC-SOFEC (ang. Direct Carbon Solid Oxide-Fuel Assisted Electrolysis Cell).
