The main aim of OUTFOX is to remove scale as limiting factor in the deployment of SOEL technologies, while proving their potential to become the preferred option for green hydrogen production. By combining experimental results up to 80 kW scales with identification of optimal cell and system designs, OUTFOX will prepare SOEL for industrial scale systems of 100+ MW with an LCOH as low as €2.7/kg hydrogen and applicability to mass manufacturing lines. The industrially-driven OUTFOX consortium will combine expertise on cell, stack and module development, manufacturing, and full system evaluation to advance the maturity of SOEL and contribute to the targets of the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA. OUTFOX will achieve current densities of at least 0.85 A/cm2 through the use of cells with 25% less thickness than current high volume state-of-the-art, improving sustainability through reducing total materials requirements. Scale-up will be approached from two sides: (1) development and validation of cells with geometric areas up to 800 cm2 that are compatible with at-scale manufacturing techniques, and (2) validation of optimized design concepts with increased numbers of stacks per module. The partners will validate high current density operation with reference scale (144 cm2), industrial scale (>300 cm2) and next-generation cells (900 cm2) in single repeating units, short stacks of 15 cells, and 80 kW prototype systems, leading to more than 10,000 hours of SOEL operation. Two separate 80 kW testing campaigns with two different stack configurations and a total of more than 4000 operating hours, to be tested onsite at the Shell facilities in Amsterdam, will go beyond the scope of the call text to provide a comprehensive validation of the OUTFOX technology, thus providing key data for design of a full scale 100+ MW SOEL system, including the module configuration and all balance of plant requirements, and preparing the technology for a multi-MW demonstration following the project end.

OUTFOX的主要目标是消除规模作为SOEL技术部署的限制因素，同时证明其成为绿色制氢首选方案的潜力。通过将高达80 kW规模的实验结果与最佳电池和系统设计的识别相结合，OUTFOX将为100+ MW的工业规模系统准备SOEL，其LCOH低至2.7欧元/kg氢气，并适用于大规模生产线。工业驱动的OUTFOX联盟将结合联合收割机在电池、电池组和模块开发、制造以及完整系统评估方面的专业知识，以促进SOEL的成熟，并为清洁氢JU SRIA的目标做出贡献。OUTFOX将通过使用厚度比当前高容量最先进电池薄25%的电池来实现至少0.85 A/cm 2的电流密度，通过减少总材料需求来提高可持续性。规模扩大将从两个方面进行：（1）开发和验证几何面积高达800平方厘米的电池，与大规模制造技术兼容，以及（2）验证优化设计概念，增加每个模块的堆叠数量。合作伙伴将验证高电流密度操作，包括参考规模（144平方厘米）、工业规模（>300平方厘米）和下一代电池（900平方厘米），包括单重复单元、15个电池的短堆和80千瓦原型系统，从而实现超过10，000小时的SOEL操作。两个独立的80 kW测试活动，具有两种不同的电池组配置，总计超过4000个运行小时，将在阿姆斯特丹的壳牌工厂进行现场测试，这将超出呼叫文本的范围，以提供对OUTFOX技术的全面验证，从而为全尺寸100+ MW SOEL系统的设计提供关键数据，包括模块配置和工厂要求的所有平衡，并在项目结束后为多兆瓦示范做好技术准备。
