Finally, the IP-SOFC stack is an essential part of a hybrid plant, which combines this technology together with a gas turbine in order to provide a high efficiency power generation system. 

SiC has high heat and oxidation resistance. Therefore, various applications relating to space developments and efficient power generators are expected. However, the low reliability due to the brittle nature of SiC is a critical problem. MWCNTs may be good candidates to reinforce the SiC matrix if the original strength of MWCNTs is maintained. The SiC coating is expected to improve the weak adhesion between MWCNTs and the SiC matrix. 

Launch a major national effort to use electricity and natural gas more efficiently. We need to slow the growth of co2 emissions, sharply reduce the need for new coal-fired power, and free up inefficiently used natural gas for high-efficiency power generation (either combined cycle plants or chp). Energy ejficiency remains the single most cost-effective strategy for minimizing co2 emissions.8...

But, a process that already uses a boiler to provide high pressure steam can install a back pressure steam turbine generator for low cost, high efficiency power generation. The pressure drops in the steam distribution systems are used to generate power. This takes advantage of the energy that is already in the steam.

In contrast, high temperature fuel eells like SOFCs provide efficient power generation with power to heat ratios > 1 even at small scale. In addition, they are able to process lean biogases and fluctuating gas composition. If the remaining development tasks will be addressed with sufficient resources, this technology can considerably improve electrical power production from biogas in the near future.
