Abstract
The high cost of the SOFC makes it difficult to achieve win-win between emission reduction and economic benefits. Most studies neglect the CO2abatement costs associated with cleaner technologies, and studies on abatement costs focus on a global perspective, neglecting technology-specific abatement costs. The SOFC abatement cost can be reduced with innovations in business models. In this work a novel enviro-economic framework whose basis is a detailed optimisation of a plant is developed and applied to quantify the impactof new business models (specifically looking at offsetting capital costs by ploughing back operational savings from a high-efficient SOFC) on reducing the CO2abatement cost of biogas fuelled SOFC systems. Case studies show the new business models reduces the abatement cost from 122 to 56 € per ton in Bulgaria, 160 to 92 € per ton in Czech Republic, and 150 to -90 € per ton in the UK.
