SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN USING HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL CELLS

Abstract:

A steam methane reformer-integrated fuel cell system includes at least one fuel cell having an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte matrix separating the anode and the cathode. The system further includes a steam methane reformer configured to react methane with steam to produce a first product stream including hydrogen (H.sub.2), carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2), and carbon monoxide (CO).
