Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for capturing CO 2 from a combustion source using molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). At least a portion of the anode exhaust can be recycled for use as a fuel for the combustion source. Optionally, a second portion of the anode exhaust can be recycled for use as part of an anode input stream. This can allow for a reduction in the amount of fuel cell area required for separating CO 2 from the combustion source exhaust and/or modifications in how the fuel cells can be operated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for power generation, comprising: a combustion turbine including a compressor, the compressor receiving an oxidant input and being in fluid communication with a combustion zone, the combustion zone further receiving at least one combustion fuel input, the combustion zone being in fluid communication with an expander having an exhaust output; an exhaust gas recirculation system providing fluid communication between a first portion of the expander e…
