NOVELTY - Electricity is produced from fuel cells by: combining steam with carbonaceous compounds to form gaseous mixture containing organic compounds, hydrogen and carbon monoxide; subjecting the gaseous mixture containing organic compounds to reforming by fuel cells; subjecting carbon within the gaseous mixture to steam shifting by the fuel cells; and subjecting air to the fuel cells to produce steam and electricity.    USE - For producing electricity for power grid from fuel cells, e.g. molten carbonate fuel cells and/or solid oxide fuel cells (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The invention can apply gasification of carbonaceous compounds to reforming and steam splitting by molten carbonate and solid oxide fuel cell. It can utilize internally generated exothermic heat which is transmitted, as steam, to carbonaceous compounds for gasification.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Production of electricity from fuel cells depending on gasification of carbonaceous compounds for fuel involves:    (a) providing a vessel for gasification, carbonaceous compounds, fuel cells, and steam derived from the fuel cells;    (b) combining the steam with the carbonaceous compounds for the gasification of the carbonaceous compounds to form a gaseous mixture containing organic compounds, hydrogen and carbon monoxide;    (c) subjecting the gaseous mixture to the fuel cells;    (d) subjecting the gaseous mixture containing organic compounds to reforming by the fuel cells;    (e) subjecting carbon monoxide containing water vapor, within the gaseous mixture, to steam shifting by the fuel cells; and    (f) subjecting air to the fuel cells for creation of steam and generation of electricity where gasification of carbonaceous compounds provides energy to fuel cells for creation of steam for gasification of carbonaceous compounds and generation of electricity.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is a flow sheet showing production of electricity from fuel cells depending of gasification of carbonaceous compounds.
