MODEC and Eld Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a 1.2 MW power system integrated with carbon capture for application on FPSOs. The 1.2 MW unit is targeted for onshore testing in 2029, followed by long-term demonstration.
While the Norwegian firm will lead the design, procurement, and construction of the power system based on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), including requisite testing and validation, the Japanese giant will develop the carbon
