NOVELTY - The method comprises: introducing an anode fuel stream including a reformable fuel into an anode (127) of a molten carbonate fuel cell (120) and/or an internal reforming element associated with the anode of the molten carbonate fuel cell; introducing a cathode inlet stream comprising carbon dioxide and oxygen into a cathode (129) of the molten carbonate fuel cell; generating electricity within the fuel cell; generating an anode exhaust (125) from an anode outlet of the molten carbonate fuel cell; and separating hydrogen-containing stream and/or syngas-containing stream from the anode exhaust.    USE - The method is useful for producing electricity, and hydrogen or syngas, using a molten carbonate fuel cell (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method improves or optimizes the combined electrical efficiency and chemical efficiency of the fuel cell.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method comprises: introducing an anode fuel stream including a reformable fuel into an anode (127) of a molten carbonate fuel cell (120) and/or an internal reforming element associated with the anode of the molten carbonate fuel cell; introducing a cathode inlet stream comprising carbon dioxide and oxygen into a cathode (129) of the molten carbonate fuel cell; generating electricity within the fuel cell; generating an anode exhaust (125) from an anode outlet of the molten carbonate fuel cell; and separating hydrogen-containing stream and/or syngas-containing stream from the anode exhaust. An electrical efficiency of the molten carbonate fuel cell is 10-40%. A total fuel cell efficiency for the molten carbonate fuel cell is 55%. The syngas-containing stream comprises hydrogen and carbon monoxide at a molar ratio of 2.5:1-1.5:1. The electrical efficiency of the fuel cell is less than 35%. The total efficiency of the fuel cell is 65%. The method further comprises reforming the reformable fuel, where 90% of the reformable fuel is introduced into the anode of the molten carbonate fuel cell and reformed in a single pass through the anode of the molten carbonate fuel cell, and separating one of carbon dioxide and water from one of the anode exhaust, the hydrogen-containing stream, and the syngas-containing stream. The anode fuel stream comprises 10 vol.% of inert compounds and/or 10 vol.% of carbon monoxide. Less than 10 vol.% of hydrogen produced in the anode of the molten carbonate fuel cell in a single pass is directly or indirectly recycled to the anode or the cathode of the molten carbonate fuel cell. Less than 10 vol.% of the syngas-containing stream and less than 10 vol.% of anode exhaust is directly or indirectly recycled to the anode or the cathode of the fuel cell. The cathode inlet stream comprises less than 20 vol.% of carbon dioxide. The fuel cell is operated at a voltage of less than 0.67 Volts. The anode exhaust comprises hydrogen and carbon monoxide at a molar ratio of 3:1.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic view of a molten carbonate fuel cell.
