A novel concept that employs dual chamber SOFC technology with a porous electrolyte, which allows the controlled distribution of gaseous O₂ at the anode side, was successfully designed using an all porous structure. The oxidative reforming of hydrocarbon streams can consequently operate in a similar fashion to single chamber SOFCs, but within a safer, better controlled process
