Hydrogen (H2) production is pivotal in the global shift towards a net-zero carbon economy. Its elemental abundance and zero-emission combustion position it as an ideal renewable energy source. However, the journey to harness hydrogen’s full potential is fraught with challenges, particularly in storage and transportation. Researching viable hydrogen carriers is critical, as conventional ...
The ability of mixed ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) perovskite oxides (ABO3) to support both electronic and ionic conductivity, as well as their favourable catalytic properties and chemical and redox stability, make them promising electrode materials. MIEC perovskite oxides have received substantial attention in multiple applications in energy conversion ...
Data centers are becoming a vital component of today’s digital technology-driven world. From cloud computing to communications to finance, many industries depend on data centers. They centralize services for the storage, management, and transmission of data. Offering these services 24/7, 365 days a year requires a lot of energy. According to Data Center Knowledge, 2% of our nation’s ...

Introduction Nickel oxide/yttrium-stabilized zirconia (NiO/YSZ) is a state-of-the-art anode used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Despite its excellent electrochemical activity in hydrogen fuel cells, there are barriers to the storage of hydrogen, which have stimulated interest ...
This is not a solution – it’s a harmful, ill-advised approach. Non-Combustion Fuel Cells Are a Decarbonization Solution Bloom Energy Servers, which leverage solid oxide fuel cells to produce clean power, are a solution to decarbonizing buildings – both today and in the future. ...
CalBio’s dairy digester technology with Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cell technology delivers an end-to-end solution for the capture of methane and generation of renewable electricity. ...
Durable, location independent, environmental–friendly sources of energy which allow for modular, few moving parts, low operating noise, high electricity generation efficiency and compact technology are highly desirable. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising for such energy system development, since they are energy ...
In this study, the multi–objective optimisation of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system by defining the objective functions to maximise the power output, energy efficiency and exergy efficiency, and minimise the cost under various constraints is conducted. ...
Fuel cell technology is one of the promising systems for cleaner and competitive alternate power generation systems. When the high temperature fuel cells like solid oxide fuel cell and molten carbon fuel cell are integrated with ...
In this study, an exergy analysis is applied to a conceptual integrated two–stage biomass gasifier and Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system. Several simulations are conducted to assess the effect of some key input parameters on the exergy ratios of the components and the exergy efficiency of the system. ...

For that matter, so are other waste-to-energy technologies such as the solid oxide fuel cell, trash-to-steam and recovery of methane from landfills. ...
These potentials were evaluated by introducing eight different scenarios, including power stations' fuel switching to natural gas, replacement of existing power plants with natural gas combined cycle, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), hybrid SOFC, and SOFC-IGCC hybrid ...
The characteristics of the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) were introduced. The SOFC system can be divided into ten sections based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The fuel specific consumption was taken as the primary indicator to investigate the specific consumption for each section. ...
This paper presents a comparative exergy study of the performance of various gas turbine power generation plants and a high temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The overall system is analysed and its exergy efficiency and exergy destruction are obtained, as well as individual models of each component. ...
In this paper, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from an uncontrolled landfill site filled with Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) are compared with those from controlled sites in which collected Landfill Gases (LFG) are utilised by various technologies. These technologies include flaring, conventional electricity generation technologies such as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Gas ...

An application of exergy analysis to calculate depletion numbers, which relate exergy destruction and total exergy use, is demonstrated for a gas turbine cycle combined with a hydrogen generation unit. The design includes a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) with internal natural gas reforming and a Membrane Reactor (MR) in place of a ...
The presented paper gives an overview on combined cycles for CO2-capture with high efficiency focussed on processes using a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), because of the air separating ability of the SOFC-membrane. The SOFC-membrane is only permeable for oxygen ions, so the cathode exhaust gas is oxygen depleted air, which should ...
It is further shown that the cycle efficiency can be significantly increased to a level of 75% by integrating a high temperature fuel cell into the cycle.Keywords: Graz cycle, high temperature fuel cells, hydrogen storage, photovoltaics, renewable energy sources, solid oxide fuel ...
