Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for capturing COfrom a combustion source using molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). At least a portion of the anode exhaust can be recycled for use as part of anode input stream. This can allow for a reduction in the amount of fuel cell area required for separating COfrom the combustion source exhaust and/or modifications in how the fuel cells can be operated.
