The difference of stack performance between electrolysis and coelectrolysis modes was <2%. The power consumption in steam and co-electrolysis operation was very similar and depends mainly on Nernst voltage of H2O/H2/CO2/CO containing gas composition. Gas conversion has only minor effect on power consumption over a wide operation window. SOE stack integration into carbon capture and utilization (CCU) unit for production of waxes using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis has been considered on system design level applying realistic efficiencies for internal heat utilization (heat losses). Non-converted syngas and short-chained by-products are recycled to the stack inlet and used for recovery. It has been shown that at T>800°C a methane content of 7.5 mol-% in the feed gas is fully converted in the stack under co-electrolysis operating conditions.encarbon captureFischer-Tropsch synthesiselectrolyteselectric power utilizationElectrolysisco-electrolysisstack performanceoperation windowoperating conditionmethane contentgas conversiongas compositionelectrolyte-supported cellssolid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs)620666conference paper
