SOFC Innovations Driving Environmental Progress and Profitability

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are commercially developed due to their high efficiencies in converting chemical energy to electricity as well as their flexibility in utilizing existing fuel infrastructure as well as a range of fuels such as ammonia, methane and biofuels. In recent years there has been increasing deployment of commercial systems ranging from stationary to transport applications.

As part of the global drive for low or zero-emission power generation, Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology has the potential for broad market penetration. Fuel flexibility makes SOFCs independent from pure hydrogen feeding, since hydrocarbons can be fed directly to the SOFC and then converted to a hydrogen rich stream by the internal thermochemical processes. SOFCs are also able to convert carbon monoxide electrochemically, thus contributing to energy production together with hydrogen, and can be supplied with biofuels, especially biogas and syngas, so that biomass gasifiers/SOFC integrated systems contribute to the “waste to energy” chain with a significant reduction in pollution.
