Abstract: This work is centered on the comparative appraisal of various waste gas mixtures which can be utilized for electric power and heat generation using solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), on the main sources of these gases, and on technological aspects related to their use. Particular emphasis is given to the waste gases produced by municipal solid waste landfills and industry, including coke oven, blast furnace and converter gases from metallurgy, gas from underground coal mines, agricultural and food industry produced biogas, and hydrogen-containing wastes from chemical industrial processes. The advantages and limitations of SOFCs are analyzed with respect to the mature technologies based on reciprocating internal combustion engines and gas turbines, where successful pilot projects of the waste gas utilization were well documented in the literature, and other types of fuel cells. The high-calorific waste generation dynamics, gas purification methods and state-of-the-art SOFC developments are briefly addressed.
