An example of a complex material used in syngas applications is Lag jSro gFeo g. Coo.iCro.203 [26]. This composition contains many of the features previously discussed. It is predominately an iron-based perovskite, providing both electronic and ionic conductivity. In order to improve the chemical stability and resistance to chemical expansion, the B-site is doped with chromium. A small amount of cobalt is added in order to improve the electronic conductivity, and cobalt wiU also increase the ionic conductivity slightly. Strontium is used as the A-site dopant in order to avoid the problems associated with calcium, and particularly with barium, in regard to reaction with CO2. In addition, the material has been made substantially A-site deficient to improve its stability. 

Among these, the well-known combined heat and power plant in Giissing, Austria, is particularly noteworthy not only as a successfiil industrial reality, but also in view of the light it sheds on the feasibility of the technical concepts involved and the economic benefits derived from the diversification of biomass syngas applications in energy and chemical production systems. 

Discussion will focus on natural gas derived syngas applications, as state-of-the-art hydrogen membranes cannot be applied to sour syngas derived from heavier fuels, including coal or oil, due to the effects of sulfur... 

It is beyond the scope of this article to describe the technology of these syngas applications in more detail and the reader is referred to the existing literature on this topic. The catalytic aspects of these applications are described by Stitt and co-workers (35), and Steynberg and Dry (36)...
