ELCOGEN is a developer and manufacturer of Solid Oxide (SOC) technology – an efficient solution for green hydrogen production and emission-free power generation.
Elcogen provides SOC-based reversible clean energy solutions that deliver affordable green hydrogen through electrolysis and emission-free electricity with fuel cells. We supply the core technology that sits at the heart of energy security and transition away from fossil fuels.
Elcogen’s solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology is flexible and can be applied to a broad range of residential, industrial, and commercial applications, enabling multiple types of systems to produce and use green energy.
Elcogen has been in the industry for 22 years and the company's SOFC technology holds the world record in fuel to electricity conversion efficiency. Elcogen is based in Estonia (Elcogen AS, headquarters, single cell development and manufacturing) and Finland (Elcogen OY, stack and system development and manufacturing).
Elcogen's R&D department develops new solutions for green hydrogen and emission-free power generation by novel innovations and improving the company's existing SOC technology. We participate and collaborate actively both in EU and national level funded research projects and consortia in the field of green power generation and sustainable energy economy.
In the ECOLEFINS project, our stack and system expertise is combined with our project partners’ novel innovations in materials science and engineering of co-ionic ceramic membrane reactors to enable production of green olefins through electro-conversion of CO2 and H2O.
Dr. Minna Toivola as a Project Coordinator at Elcogen Oy since September 2023. In her position, she is responsible for administrative & financial aspects of the company’s publicly funded projects.
Minna Toivola got her D.Sc.(Tech.) degree at the Department of Applied Physics, New Energy Technologies Laboratory, Aalto University, Finland, in 2010. The topic of her doctoral thesis was novel substrate materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (Grätzel cells). During her thesis work she also studied PEM and Solid Oxide fuel cells and their applications.
Prior to joining Elcogen Oy she worked 12 years in the semiconductor industry, at the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment manufacturer Picosun Group (nowadays part of the Applied Materials, Inc.), in various positions including Marketing Manager, Regional Sales Manager, Training, and Project Manager.
