Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of the integrated system at ICI Caldaie, Italy. The system successfully operated across the full hydrogen/natural gas range (0–100% H₂/CH₄ blends), automatically adapting to fuel changes. At full load (5 kWe), it achieved ~50% efficiency on hydrogen and 56% on natural gas, confirming expected performance and readiness for real-world deployment in flexible, fuel-adaptive energy solutions.

At the ICI Powering Evolution headquarters, SO-FREE was presented. A new step towards the energy transition is taking shape!
