This paper aims to analyse the technical and economic feasibility of utilising a hydrogen fed solid oxide fuel cell as a source of both electricity and high-grade heat for the process of direct air carbon capture. It is vital that a renewable form of hydrogen production is used for this process to be sustainable, therefore a renewable hydrogen fed 50 MW solid oxide fuel cell is modelled, integrated with a direct air carbon capture process, resulting in a system with the capacity to remove carbon dioxide just over 270 kt/year directly from the air.
