An interesting application of agricultural renewable sources is the use of ethanol for supplying molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). However, ethanol has to be converted into hydrogen by a steam-reforming process. MCFCs are suitable for these applications due to their tolerability to the impurities of the reaction products and their high working temperatures (600-650 degrees C) which allow to integrate the reforming stage to the stack. Ethanol-reforming tests were performed by using pure ethanol or bioethanol obtained by sugar beet syrup fermentation. Tests were performed by a specific reactor designed for its installation into the anodic compartment of small-size MCFCs.
