A Cylindrical Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Supplied with Landfill Biogas

Article Preview

Abstract:

A small size cylindrical Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell stack was installed at Giugliano landfill in Italy. The stack was constituted by 16-cells with a 300 W nominal power. Preliminary tests were performed in order to verify the possibility to supply the stack by the landfill biogas, characterized by low methane content (32%). Results showed that the proposed plant is able to correctly operate also when supplied with low methane content biogas.
