A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material and, as the name implies, the SOFC has a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high efficiencies, long term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions, and cost. The largest disadvantage is the high operating temperature which results in longer start up times and mechanical/chemical compatibility issues.

'''The higher operating temperature make SOFCs suitable candidates for application with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_engine heat engine] energy recovery devices or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_heat_and_power combined heat and power], which further increases overall fuel efficiency.'''
