MODEC and Eld Energy Collaborate on CCS-Integrated Power System for FPSOs
MODEC and Eld Energy aim to develop a 1.2 MW solid oxide fuel cell power system with carbon capture for FPSOs. This partnership is significant for advancing emissions reduction in offshore energy production.

MODEC and Eld Energy have formed a memorandum of understanding to create a 1.2 MW power system with carbon capture technology for floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels. The project, which includes a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, will see Eld Energy manage design and construction, while MODEC handles carbon capture integration.
Onshore testing is scheduled for 2029, leading to a long-term demonstration program. Previous collaborations have scaled from a 40 kW to a 120 kW SOFC project, aiming to confirm the technology's scalability and its role in emissions management for offshore operations. This initiative supports MODEC's commitment to stable offshore energy production and emissions reduction.
