Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Integrating solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with carbon capture technologies aligns with the intention to decarbonize the electricity sector. This study explores two configurations of SOFCs combined with calcium looping (CaL) carbon capture technology (SOFC/CaL): one with auxiliary heaters and another with additional fuel to supply the energy required for the carbon capture process. Results indicate that the electrical efficiency of the SOFC/CaL system is approximately 26 % lower than that of a standalone SOFC, though the overall efficiency (considering both electricity and heat as products) remains comparable. However, CO 2 emission is 314.7 kg/MWh for standalone SOFC, 125.8 kg/MWh for SOFC/CaL equipped with auxiliary heaters, and 22.4 kg/MWh for SOFC/CaL retrofitted with additional fuel. The scale of the SOFC and the fuel price significantly affect the carbon capture economy and the required CO 2 tax for cost parity. For a 10 MW plant with a fuel cost of 10 USD/GJ, the levelized cost of electricity is estimated at 66.7 USD/MWh for the standalone SOFC and 82.5 USD/MWh for the SOFC/CaL. A CO 2 tax of 39–53 USD/tCO 2 is necessary to achieve cost parity.
