Total has chosen the most efficient technology available on the market—the modular Sunfire-HyLink 200 system. Based on solid-oxide cells, the system uses industrial waste heat (steam) for increased efficiency. The high efficiency of more than 80% also significantly reduces the overall cost of the integrated process.
