Abstract

Changes are needed to improve the efficiency and lower the CO₂ emissions of traditional coal-fired power generation, which is the main source of global CO₂ emissions. The integrated gasification fuel cell (IGFC) process, which combines coal gasification and high-temperature fuel cells, was proposed in 2017 to improve the efficiency of coal-based power generation and reduce CO₂ emissions. Supported by the National Key R&D Program of China, the IGFC for nearzero CO₂ emissions program was enacted with the goal of achieving near-zero CO₂ emissions based on (1) catalytic combustion of the flue gas from solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks and (2) CO₂ conversion using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). In this work, we investigated a kW-level catalytic combustion burner and SOEC stack, evaluated the electrochemical performance of the SOEC stack in H₂O electrolysis and H₂O/CO₂ co-electrolysis, and established a multiscale and multi-physical coupling simulation model of SOFCs and SOECs. The process developed in this work paves the way for the demonstration and deployment of IGFC technology in the future.
