A Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) is a type of fuel cell that contains a molten carbonate (CO3) electrolyte, and operates at approximately 650°C. A MCFC is already being used in a variety of medium to large scale stationary applications, where their high efficiency produces (ranges from 60 to 80 percent) net energy savings with the unit output up to 2 megawatts (MW) have been constructed, and designs exist for units up to 100 MW.
