Gas-to-electricity step in Sustainability


Progress From the Engineer-Poet

"It looks like my spec for 50% efficiency in the gas-to-electricity step in Sustainability may have been pessimistic; Fuel Cell Today had an article last year which claimed the possibility of 80% efficiency"
Further, this is not from a SOFC, it's with a turbine-compounded MCFC. With this sort of efficiency, it would be feasible to dispense with SOFC's entirely. This is the sort of backup technology which practically guarantees that the concept is viable. The one element I cannot pin down is cost.

Comments from Haase
Oh, how I wish more people would "read" your information... I DO not read many "blogs" as the VAST majority are "marketing" scams and misinformed self indulgent rants. But, I always read yours.
Thanks for making "math" & "science" make $ence to the masses.
Happy Holidays!
