Electricity production from fuel cells fuelled by landfill gas

Our company has joined forces with the largest landfill gas power producer, Neo Bio Energy, to explore the potential of powering SOFC DFC fuel cells with high-methane biogas. The fuel cells provide a highly efficient, low-carbon alternative to landfi

Neo Bio Energy is the largest entity in Poland managing biogas generated from landfill sites. It currently manages 30 installations in the country that generate electricity from the renewable energy source that is the landfill gas.

At the biogas power plant located at the landfill site in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, we have built a field laboratory to test the operating parameters obtained when using landfill gas as fuel for the cells. The SOFC DFC cell module manufactured at HydrogenTech was tested, and the tests themselves were conducted using our MHT100 station modified for integration into the biogas plant.
