“…The HT-PEM fuel cell has a tolerance of CO of up to 3% in hydrogen at 0.8 A cm −2 and 200 ∘ C as reported by Li et al [10]. The improved tolerance to CO allows use of a synthetic gas from various fuel sources without the need for complex CO clean-up systems [11][12][13][14][15]. Gardemann et al [11] demonstrated a compact ethanol fuel processor for small scale system (200 W-500 W) [11].…”

“…Maximini et al [12] reported on the development of a steam reforming based fuel processor for diesel operation. Samsun et al [13] explored a start-up strategy based on utilization of electrical heaters at different locations in the fuel processor to heat process air of diesel and kerosene fuel processor via modeling and experiments. They reported an improved start-up time of the fuel processor from 22 min to 9.5 min when the strategy is applied.…”

This study focuses on performance analysis of a 1 kWemicrocogeneration system based on a high temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cell by means of parametric investigation. A mathematical model for a system consisting of a fuel processor (steam reforming reactor and water-gas shift reactor), a HT-PEM fuel cell stack, and the balance-of-plant components was developed. Firstly, the fuel processor performance at different fuel ratios and equivalence ratio was examined. It is shown that high fuel ratios of 0.9–0.95 and equivalence ratios of less than 0.56 are suitable for acceptable carbon monoxide content in the synthetic gas produced. Secondly, a parametric study of the system performance at different fuel and equivalence ratios using key system operating parameters was conducted. Steam-to-carbon ratio, stack operating temperature, and anode stoichiometry were varied to observe the changes in the microcogeneration system. The analysis shows that the system can reach electrical and cogeneration efficiencies of 30% and 84%, respectively.

“…However, research on fuel cell systems with on-board fuel processing for vehicle propulsion was halted due their high complexity [13]. The technology can still be used for power supply to mobile systems during idling [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Instead of fossil fuels, biofuels could be employed by Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs).…”

Achieving the CO2 reduction targets for 2050 requires extensive measures being undertaken in all sectors. In contrast to energy generation, the transport sector has not yet been able to achieve a substantive reduction in CO2 emissions. Measures for the ever more pressing reduction in CO2 emissions from transportation include the increased use of electric vehicles powered by batteries or fuel cells. The use of fuel cells requires the production of hydrogen and the establishment of a corresponding hydrogen production system and associated infrastructure. Synthetic fuels made using carbon dioxide and sustainably-produced hydrogen can be used in the existing infrastructure and will reach the extant vehicle fleet in the medium term. All three options require a major expansion of the generation capacities for renewable electricity. Moreover, various options for road freight transport with light duty vehicles (LDVs) and heavy duty vehicles (HDVs) are analyzed and compared. In addition to efficiency throughout the entire value chain, well-to-wheel efficiency and also other aspects play an important role in this comparison. These include: (a) the possibility of large-scale energy storage in the sense of so-called ‘sector coupling’, which is offered only by hydrogen and synthetic energy sources; (b) the use of the existing fueling station infrastructure and the applicability of the new technology on the existing fleet; (c) fulfilling the power and range requirements of the long-distance road transport.
