Research, Development, and Demonstration of Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Systems

  • Chapter
Fuel Cell Systems

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the technology of the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and to assess the status of MCFC performance. The MCFC is generally considered a “second-generation” fuel cell, whose entry into the power generation market will follow that of the phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC), discussed in Chapter 8. In spite of the greater technical difficulties in its development, the MCFC has undeniable advantages over the PAFC, because of its higher electrical efficiency, the possibility of using natural gas without external reforming, and the high-grade waste heat generated. These characteristics allow a spectrum of applications varying from central power generation to industrial or commercial cogeneration. They are directly connected with the higher operating temperature (typically 650°C).
