Molten carbonate fuel cells in a future United Kingdom context

Energy, 1988, vol. 13, issue 1, 97-106

Abstract: A 1983 report (Ref. 5 below) concluded that the phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) would not be a likely candidate for electricity production in the U.K. market, except for specialized congeneration applications. We re-examine the potential of future fuel cells (FCs), of a few hundred kW to several MW for dispersed power production. In contrast to the PAFC, a number of variants of the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) could be competitive in the U.K. market. On-going research programs, particularly in the U.S. and Japan, make it likely that the technical goals for the MCFC will be achieved.
