The objective of this study is to conduct an in-depth life cycle assessment (LCA) of a solid oxide fuel cell SOFC stack composed of three cells with innovative materials, with the aim of quantifying the environmental and economic impacts through an environmental life cycle cost (eLCC). Furthermore, the study will assess the economic feasibility with a net present value (NPV) calculation through a comparison with a commercial SOFC. Finally, a Business Model Canvas (BMC) was created to analyse a company's business structure, providing a clear and unambiguous overview for all internal and external stakeholders and offering valuable insights for the future commercialisation phase.
