🚀 I was thrilled to present our latest work at the 32nd European Biomass Conference & Exhibition (EUBCE24) in Marseille last week (24-27 June)! 🇫🇷 🔬 Our research, "High Efficiency and Zero Emissions Biogas-to-Power: Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and Advanced Biogas Cleaning", explores innovative solutions for biogas utilization in high-efficiency fuel cells. Key Highlights: 🌿 SOFCs: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer >55% energy conversion efficiency and low emissions, making them ideal for distributed combined heat and power (CHP) systems. 🧪 Biogas Cleaning: Effective purification is crucial for powering SOFCs. Our study evaluates the techno-economic impact of biogas cleaning systems. 📉 Techno-Economic Analysis: For a 3-kW plant, cleaning costs significantly impact the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), ranging from 27-41%. For a 100-kW plant, SOFC costs dominate, but the lead-and-lag configuration helps reduce operational costs. ✅ Cost-Effectiveness: Competitive LCOE: <0.12 €/kWh for 3-kW systems and <0.07 €/kWh for 100-kW plants, demonstrating the viability of biogas-powered SOFCs for renewable energy production. Special thanks to my supervisors and co-authors Marta Gandiglio, Andrea Lanzini, and Massimo Santarelli. #EUBCE24 #Biogas #RenewableEnergy #SOFC #CHP #Waste2Watts #EnergyInnovation #Sustainability
