ABSTRACT:
Electricity production using a fuel cell wherein the fuel stream is obtained by reacting a hydrocarbon with steam and air so that the exothermic reaction of the hydrocarbon and air supplies the heat required for the endothermic steam reforming reaction. Energy is recovered by letting down the anode, and preferably also the cathode, off-gas from the fuel cell in a turbine driving the air compressor. The anode off-gas from the fuel cell is combusted, preferably catalytically, to preheat one or more of the reactants used in the hydrocarbon/steam/air reaction prior to passage through the turbine.
