PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric energy generating method using a fuel cell. SOLUTION: The organic fuel is reformed, and the carbon monoxide is eliminated from the reformed material by treating the reformed material in the bioreactor containing thermophilic micro-organism strain by metabolizing the carbon monoxide to convert into carbon dioxide and hydrogen in the anaerobic condition, and the electric energy is generated, and hydrogen contained in the reformed material is allowed to react with oxygen in the fuel cell. Since the micro-organism has the remarkable thermophilic characteristic, temperature can be raised to 90 deg.C, and when generating the electric energy in the fuel cell, the oxygen is not contained in the gas after reforming the gas in the reformer. |
