Production of Fischer-Tropsch liquid fuels from high temperature solid oxide co-electrolysis units

▸ Detailed modeling of both SOEC operation and F-T synthesis and distillation is presented. ▸ SOEC syngas production and system performance sensitivities to operating pressure are explored. ▸ Results indicate lower pressure SOEC operation is favored for F-T synthesis. ▸ Fuel production efficiencies of 50.1%-HHV are reported and detailed economic costing is performed. ▸ Liquid fuels production cost estimates are made and range from 3.3 $/GGE to 18.3 $/GGE.
