<p>An integrated biomass gasification and fuel cell system (12) wherein the electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell is affected by providing the reactant gases from a gasifier (10). Fuel gas from the gasifier (10) is directed to the anode (14) of the fuel cell (12) and at least a portion of the exhaust gas from the anode (14) is directed to the combustor (18). The portion of the exhaust gas from the anode (14) is then combusted to recover residual energy to increase the overall efficiency of integrated biomass gasification and fuel cell system (12). Also , the oxidant gas from the combustor (18) may be directed to the cathode (16) of the fuel cell.</p> |
