Dominovas launches first Rubicon SOFC project in South Africa

US-based Dominovas Energy Corporation has launched its first Rubicon™ solid oxide fuel cell system in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company says that this 50 kW

Global Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

For instance, Euro 7 emission norms were implemented in 2020, with a CO2 emission target of 95 grams per kilometer. Such clean energy norms create demand for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) that plays a major role in energy decentralization by producing quiet, clean, and efficient energy, particularly in stationary power generation.

Dominovas secures gas supply for SOFC units in South Africa

Dominovas had originally planned to run its SOFC system on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), but logistical and supply obstacles led the company to instead secure a

Dominovas launches first Rubicon SOFC project in South Africa

US-based Dominovas Energy Corporation has launched its first Rubicon™ solid oxide fuel cell system in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company says that this 50 kW Rubicon ''proof of concept'' unit will be the first SOFC system to serve baseload capacity anywhere on the African continent.

Dominovas secures gas supply for SOFC units in South Africa

Dominovas had originally planned to run its SOFC system on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), but logistical and supply obstacles led the company to instead secure a sustainable, economical, and available fuel source for delivery of natural gas.

Dominovas Energy Launches the First Rubicon(TM) SOFC Project

The 50kW RUBICON™ produce over 430,000 kilowatt hours of clean, fuel cell generated electricity each year. The 50kW RUBICON™ proof of concept "showcase" unit will be the first solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) unit to serve baseload capacity anywhere on

What does SOFC stand for?

Argonne National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy, Fuel Cell Technologies Office (2014) Gas clean-up for fuel cell applications workshop. March 6–7 Mehr AS, Gandiglio M, MosayebNezhad M et al (2017) Solar-assisted integrated biogas solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) installation in wastewater treatment plant: energy and economic analysis.

How has the SOFC market changed over the last 4 years?

Focusing on SOFC systems, a 21% increase is detected between 2016 and 2017 regarding MWs and +48% regarding units shipped. SOFCs market has been continuously growing during the last four years. Author’s elaboration of data from Megawatts (on the left) and units (on the right) shipped by fuel cell type 2012–2017.

What are the niche markets for SOFC systems?

The report mentions specific niche markets for SOFC systems, such as on-site power generation for datacenters (mostly in USA), small-scale CHP for individual households (mainly in Japan), and in military applications (e.g., in USA).

What is the efficiency of a SOFC module?

High efficiency, best-in-class in the sub-MW sizes. Figure 8.24 shows the SOFC module inlet and outlet streams, together with the net AC efficiency, equal to 52.73%. Maximum measured AC efficiency at the DEMOSOFC site with biogas fueling has been 56% when power output was around 40 kWe.

What is the modulation range of a SOFC module?

SOFC modulation range is set from 30 to 100%, without big losses regarding efficiency (especially in the range 50–100% the efficiency remains stable). The technical C50 commercial datasheet is shown in Fig. 8.23. Key advantages of the stationary SOFC system, expressed as preliminary results of the first module operation, are:
