This study focuses on the economic assessment of a small scale multi-fuel SOFC system (6 kW) for marine applications. Total investment costs as well as operating and maintenance costs are quantified. Different fuel-pathway scenarios have been analysed for fuel cost estimation (hydrogen from SMR, SMR+CCS, and renewable routes; fossil and green methanol; green ammonia). Moreover, key performance indicators such as Specific Fixed Capital (SFC), Specific Operating Cost (SOP), and Specific Net Present Cost (SNPC) have been derived to identify the main cost drivers and trade-offs.

Abstract
This study focuses on the economic assessment of a small scale multi-fuel SOFC system (6 kW) for marine applications. Total investment costs as well as operating and maintenance costs are quantified. Different fuel-pathway scenarios have been analysed for fuel cost estimation (hydrogen from SMR, SMR+CCS, and renewable routes; fossil and green methanol; green ammonia). Moreover, key performance indicators such as Specific Fixed Capital (SFC), Specific Operating Cost (SOP), and Specific Net Present Cost (SNPC) have been derived to identify the main cost drivers and trade-offs.File in questo prodotto:
