Fuel Flexibility

Thanks to the SOFC's high operating temperature (600-900°C), low molecular weight hydrocarbons can be internally reformed, without the need for an external reformer. With appropriate conditioning, in order to remove harmful contaminants and to ensure a proper balance of the specific carbon compounds, such diverse fuels can be utilized as natural gas, biogas while solutions like ethanol/diesel/jet fuel etc need to be investigated more to understand if is possible to use these.
