Experimental and theoretical analysis of biogas reforming for SOFC applications

An investigation on biogas reforming reaction have been carried out. The inlet gas mixture consisted of CH4/CO2 (60/40 vol.%) as a model biogas composition was taken into account. Experiments were carried out, varying reforming process (dry, steam and autothermal reforming). Subsequently, optimal operational windows were identified in order to supply a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system.
