Abstract

This study focuses on efficiency and environmental impact assessments of steam biomass gasification and gasification-solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) integrated system for power and hydrogen production. Biomass is considered as the main energy source of the system, and it is changed into gaseous components through gasification process where steam is used as a drying and gasification medium. The gasifier is proposed to be integrated with SOFC unit for power production after extracting part of the produced syngas for hydrogen production. Thermodynamic model is introduced to analyze the gasification process and the electrochemical process through the SOFC. The effect of steam biomass ratio on the system performance is investigated. Environmental assessment is performed based on the carbon dioxide produced from the system with respect to the generated useful products.
