SOFCs offer several advantages over other types of fuel cells. Their high operating temperature allows for internal reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, which eliminates the need for an external reformer. This can lead to simplified system designs and reduced costs. Additionally, the high efficiency and ability to use a variety of fuels, including natural gas and biogas, make SOFCs attractive for both stationary and mobile power generation applications. The durability and long lifespan of SOFCs also contribute to their potential for widespread adoption.
