Abstract: The integration of biomass gasification with SOFCs offers the potential of highly efficient and renewable power generation, primarily in modular solutions. SOFC seems to be the most promising fuel cell technology of biomass gasifier producer gases. Solid oxide fuel cells, because of their high operating temperature, do not require pure hydrogen as fuel, exhibiting high fuel flexibility. Sufficient amounts of cereal, cotton, corn, olive, coffee or palm tree residues are available in Mediterranean areas, while the climatic conditions are favorable for energy crops cultivations. Their residues can be utilized for electricity production by modular biomass gasification-based solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
