Performance Evaluation of Biogas-fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell System Coupling with CO2-selective Membrane Separator

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
Biogas is an interesting fuel for hydrogen production in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). However, CO2 is a main composition of biogas, resulting in the dilution of hydrogen in syngas and low electrical efficiency of SOFC.
