generation technology due to their high electrical efficiency. They pleo display a multi-fucl capability @ydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane ctc.), may play a role in carbon Sequestration strategies and render the highest electricity generation efficiency in power station h i g n if coupled with a gas turbiie. Still, their development is faced with various problems of high temperature materials, design of coat effective materials and manufacturing procarsea and efficient plant design. overview of the main existing SOFC designs and the main developere active in this field. Based on data published in proceedings of international confcrencea during the last years, a comparison is made of the rtsulta achieved in cell, stack and system development. INTRODUCTION Within the last ten years, SOFC development has made big progress which can clearly be seen from the tenfold incrcase in power density. A declining interest in SOFC could be observed towards the end of the last century, when several of the leading companies terminated their activities. amongst them Dornier in Gcrmany and Fuji Electric in Japan. Nevertheless a tremendous increase in activities occurred during the last years with companies restarting their activities and new industry and research institutions starting SOFCrelated work. This report triea to give an overview of the main development lines and summarizes the development status, reached at the end of 2004, by presenting a comparison of obtained results in cell, stack and ayatcm development. The authors concentrate on the published rcsults of industry and the larger mearch centers. We numerous activities at universities are not taken into Bccount in order to facilitate the overview. In the following chapten the varioua design variants arc presented, followed by a description of the main companies involved and by the status of cell, stack and system technology. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are generally considered a promising hture electricity This paper will summarize the world wide efforts in the field of SOFC, presenting an *This paper haa been published in the lnrernarianal Jaunral afApplred Ceramic Technology.
