The UK government aims an ambitious target of 78% emission reduction by 2035 compared to 1990. The hydrogen produced through renewable sources such as biomass plays a key role in realising this target. Hydrogen storage and transport is currently challenging. In addition, the hydrogen quality concern must be taken into account. A promising solution is conversion of this fuel in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) to heat and power. The SOFC possesses unique features such as being the most efficient device for the conversion of chemical energy to power. This project aims to investigate the gasification product (syngas) as a promising fuel for SOFC. The main focus of project is estimation and improvement of SOFC longevity when fuelled by syngas from a biomass gasification system. To achieve this, high-tech experimental facilities will be used to generate Big Data for SOFC lifetime. Gathering of data will be achieved via relevant characterisation equipment and techniques. It will be achieved by deploying an experimental framework and shortlisting operating scenarios that simulate the real-life operations. This will be used for the development of a novel SOFC longevity model with application in electrolyser technology. It also allows to investigate other potential biofuels and their impact on fuel cell. The outcome of this project will provide an accurate model with the capability for consistent development, reducing time and costs of fuel cell development, contributing massively towards the UK emissions targets of 2030.

英国政府制定了一个雄心勃勃的目标，即到2035年将排放量比1990年减少78%。通过生物质等可再生资源生产的氢气在实现这一目标方面发挥着关键作用。氢的储存和运输目前是具有挑战性的。此外，还必须考虑到氢气质量问题。一个有希望的解决方案是将固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)中的这种燃料转换为热能和电力。SOFC具有独特的功能，例如是将化学能转换为电力的最有效的设备。本项目旨在研究气化产物(合成气)作为SOFC的一种有前景的燃料。该项目的主要重点是评估和提高SOFC在使用生物质气化系统合成气燃料时的寿命。为了实现这一目标，将使用高科技实验设施来生成SOFC生命周期的大数据。数据的收集将通过相关的表征设备和技术实现。它将通过部署一个实验框架并入围模拟真实操作的操作场景来实现。这将用于开发一种新的SOFC寿命模型，并应用于电解槽技术。它还允许调查其他潜在的生物燃料及其对燃料电池的影响。该项目的成果将提供一个准确的模型，具有持续发展的能力，减少燃料电池开发的时间和成本，为英国2030年的排放目标做出巨大贡献。
