Abstract: The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of biogas-fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) integrated with a CO2 recovery system is presented in this work. The goal of the work is to evaluate the environmental performance of an SOFC fueled with sewage biogas and to compare it with traditional technologies (internal combustion engines and microturbines) using the same fuel. CO2 recovery is performed through a tubular photobioreactor, fixing the recovered carbon in the form of a micro-algae.
