Due to the emerging development in the energy industry, the demand for electricity consumption has sharply increased for each country. Therefore, a new recovery of energy resources is needed in consequence of the decreasing dependency on conventional energy resources, while sustaining energy security in the aspect of energy supply and climate change issues. The fuel cell is one of the most potential resources to be explored in order to overcome the constraints of the current energy generation. The aim of this paper is to discuss the entire cycle of the fuel cell system. It is starting from biogas production up to the recent studies related to life cycle assessment on fuel cell studies. Most of the researchers focused on the technical part of fuel cells; however, a comprehensive environmental assessment is essential to fully recognize the impact of fuel cells. Furthermore, this conceptual paper provided an idea on understanding the concept of fuel cell and referred to recently published articles related to life cycle assessment. Hopefully, this study can provide the guideline in determining the future energy for this country, in order to be less dependent on the current resources of energy supply.

“…Results demonstrated that the highest exergy destruction occurred in the gasifier. An innovative biomass-based energy system integrated with a Rankine unit, SOFC unit and gas turbine sub-system developed by Ghaffarpour et al [12]. Three different biomasses were chosen, and a comprehensive exergoeconomic evaluation was carried out and multi-criteria optimization for the proposed system.…”

“…Lorenzo and Fragiacomo 7 analysed a syngas‐fuelled SOFC configuration from the thermodynamic point of view. Ghaffarpour et al 8 investigated a combined syngas‐fuelled SOFC with a Rankine cycle. The outcomes indicated that by fixing the cell's temperature at 710°C, the second law efficiency is expected to be 23%, so cell temperature is a critical parameter.…”

Summary In this research, four multigeneration systems comprising of a syngas‐fuelled solid oxide fuel cell, double‐effect absorption chiller (first configuration), a thermoelectric generator unit (second system), solid oxide electrolyser cell (third configuration), and fuel synthesis unit (fourth configuration) are proposed for cooling, heating, electricity, and hydrogen/synthetic methane production. In Configurations 1 to 3, 25% of the discharged CO2 is reinjected into the gasifier, whereas an additional portion is reused in Configuration 4 for synthetic methane production. Energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and environmental (4E) analyses are conducted comprehensively. Besides, optimisation based on the genetic algorithm is applied to optimise the system through four different modes, for example, maximum efficiency, minimum product, cost, and cost‐rate. The results show that the second system has the highest exergy efficiency and power output while having the minimum product cost. Configurations 3 and 4 are capable of fuel production, while Configuration 4 concludes the least levelised CO2 emissions; however, having the highest total product cost. The proposed systems have some advantages and drawbacks, so selecting a suitable system depends on the perspective of decision‐makers.
