MODEC has signed a statement of strategic intent with Eld Energy and Delta Electronics to collaborate on the development of a solid oxide fuel cell power generation system for offshore and maritime applications, including floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units.
The agreement, signed on January 29, 2026, sets out plans to develop a high-efficiency SOFC power generation system aimed at establishing a new global standard for offshore and maritime power solutions.
The collaboration begins with an initial purchase order for Delta’s solid oxide fuel cell stacks, marking the first milestone of the project.
Delta’s steel-supported SOFC stack design is intended to provide mechanical durability and reliability suitable for offshore deployment.
The initial order supports development of a 120-kilowatt SOFC module prototype for application on an FPSO. Onshore testing of the prototype module, including the integrated power electric system, is scheduled for 2027.
At the signing ceremony, representatives from each company outlined the objectives and expected impact of the collaboration.
“By advancing an innovative SOFC solution with Delta and Eld, we see a credible pathway to minimize GHG emissions and achieve two goals that often appear at odds: ensuring a stable supply of oil and gas indispensable to humanity while reducing
