So Top Knotch Trades stated that there was no sign on the LGE web page of the Rubicon being developed.

This is from their web page. It does in fact show that LGE is working on SOFC.

Second Generation Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Second generation solid-oxide fuel cells represent a significant technological advance in solid-oxide fuel cell technology, using readily available, low-cost components and coatings, running substantially cooler (700°C) than their competitive set, and being extremely efficient in converting chemical energy of the fuel into salable heat and electric power. They work by feeding atmospheric air onto a specialized membrane, which allows only the oxygen in the air to pass through into a chamber filled with one of a wide variety of gas fuels, including syngas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen). The resulting spontaneous reaction transforms the syngas (CO and H2) into CO2 and H2O (water and carbon dioxide) and releases a substantial quantity of electrical energy and heat. The conversion ratio is extremely efficient, with roughly 50% of the syngas energy transformed into electricity and 40% into heat that can be used for industrial heating and cooling.

Second generation solid oxide fuel cells have the following competitive advantages over traditional hydrogen-based and more contemporary solid-oxide based fuel cells:

Cooler: These fuel cells run at a lower operating temperature — 700°C versus 900-1000°C for first-generation solid-oxide fuel cells. This lower operating temperature substantially improves service life and substantially reduces lifecycle cost of ownership.
Cheaper: These fuel cells are made with simpler and less-exotic materials than first-generation solid-oxide fuel cells without the extensive use of rare-earth and noble metals – which further reduces lifecycle cost of ownership when compared to their competitive set.
Versatile: These fuel cells can use syngas directly – in hydrogen-based fuel cells, the CO in the syngas is a poison to the platinum catalysts – in SOLIDpower fuel cells, the CO is a fuel.

Good luck everyone. Hopefully we get an update soon.
