Abstract
the ground to zero-emission solutions (e.g., H2 and fuel cells - FCs), some transition solutions must be identified. Natural gas (NG - also stored on board as Liquified, LNG) is gaining more and more interest. It is therefore important to target energy systems efficiency maximization and emissions minimization. To this end, the Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs), powered by NG, and FCs, like Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), already largely investigated for terrestrial application, could be suitably integrated. SOFFHICE aims to investigate the retrofit of a (operating in lakes or among Italian minor islands) with a short-distance ferry high efficiency NG driven SOFC+ICE energy system for propulsion and hoteling.
