MCFC Applications

Molten carbonate fuel cells are being developed for stationary applications. They are especially useful for the cogeneration of power and heat in industrial and commercial applications where high temperatures are required (process heat) because the MCFC operates at temperatures around 650°C.

Plants with around 300 kW power rating are in the development but plants with more power are also possible. Apart from these stationary applications ship engines on the basis of MCFCs are being developed as well.
