Syntholene successfully produced 500 kg of 99.9% pure electrolytic hydrogen at its geothermally-integrated SOEC demonstration facility in Iceland, achieving stack electrical consumption of ~33.5 kWh/kg H₂ and overall system consumption of 37.8-40.0 kWh/kg H₂. This milestone validates the technical feasibility of low-cost green hydrogen production for synthetic aviation fuel manufacturing.
