NOVELTY - The power generation system (100) has a carbon dioxide removal system which is coupled in flow communication with hydrocarbon fuel reforming system (124). A first reformed fuel path (135) is coupled to hydrocarbon fuel reforming system. A first fuel path is set to channel a first section of the reformed fuel stream (126) to an anode inlet (110) of a fuel cell (102). A second reformed fuel path is coupled to hydrocarbon fuel reforming system and first reformed fuel path. The second reformed fuel path is set to channel second section of reformed fuel stream to carbon dioxide removal system.    USE - Power generation system, e.g., combined cycle power plant, using fuel cell.    ADVANTAGE - Increases thermal efficiency by reducing reliance on additional parasitic loads without introducing increased auxiliary power loads. Improves overall plant efficiency and provides a cost-effective method for generating electric power by enhancing the thermal efficiency. Decreases carbon dioxide discharge from the combined cycle power plant that includes a fuel cell through solvent-based carbon dioxide absorption, reduces auxiliary power consumption by the combined cycle power plant and increases utilization of the fuel in the anode of a fuel cell by increasing the thermal efficiency of the combined cycle power plant that includes fuel cell through heat recovery, including heat recovery from fuel cell reformation, combustion engine exhaust, and solvent-based carbon dioxide absorption.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a method for generating electric power with power generation system utilizing fuel cell; and    (2) a solvent-based carbon dioxide removal system for power generation system utilizing a fuel cell.
