Theoretical estimation of the production of biogas from the landfill of Batna city and its electrical conversion by a SOFC

摘要

Amongst the interests in fuel cells is exploring the possibility of using different fuel types; one of them is biogas or Landfill gas (LFG) from landfills or from controlled digesters. Biogas; a gas produced by an anaerobic digestion of organic waste represents an environmental problem that could turn to a renewable energy source. The valorization of biogas into energy (electricity, heat, fuel) will save other sources of energy. The authors of the study are interested in evaluating three technologies: fuel cells, micro turbines and internal combustion engine.
