Abstract: In the context of searching for energy and environmentally sustainable systems, fuel cells seem to be an appropriate technology. In particular, those operating at high temperature, possessing the great advantage of flexibility of fuel feeding, can be powered by a gas derived from biological sources. In fact, by treating the organic fraction of solid urban waste in an anaerobic environment, a biofuel, consisting mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, may be produced. In this paper, the combination of an anaerobic digester with a high temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system in a cogenerative arrangement is proposed. The biomass processed involves the provision of biogas feeding the SOFC system. The latter, owing to its high thermal potential, can be arranged with an indirect internal system of fuel conversion into hydrogen that, in contrast to the direct one, reduces the problems of anode carbon deposits. A technical analysis, to evaluate performances o!
f the integrated system, specifically in relation to the carbon dioxide concentration in the feeding gas, is performed, by using some energy and environmental indexes typical of cogeneration plants. In this article, in order to test the proposed project, an application to a real case has been made, in which, the biogas plant is designed starting from the organic waste from canteens in the Calabria region. The bio-fuel fed to the SOFC system involves the combined generation of heat and power with which to meet energy needs, estimated by energy audit users.
