MODEC lays the groundwork for zero carbon FPSOs with partnership set on low-carbon offshore power solution
Japan’s MODEC has joined forces with Eld Energy, a Norwegian fuel cell system company, to pursue a scalable multi-MW power system for floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units to enable them to fully run on zero-carbon power.
The duo’s agreement to jointly develop an integrated 120 kW solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and CO2 capture system (patent pending) for FPSOs covers prototype design and manufacturing for a low-carbon offshore power solution.
MODEC and Eld Energy have advanced the joint design and manufacturing of a pilot-scale 40 kW SOFC offshore power system since 2025, utilizing associated natural gas produced in FPSO production. The newly signed deal scales the SOFC output from 40 kW to 120 kW.
