Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010044113A1] An apparatus (1) for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from combustion exhaust gas and generating electrical energy by means of MCFC systems, which includes : at least one molten carbonate fuel cell (4), having a cathodic compartment (5) and an anodic compartment (6); a supply line (7) for supplying exhaust gas to the cathodic compartment; a CO2 separation system (8), connected to an outlet of the anodic compartment (6) and designed to separate CO2 from a flow of anodic gas coming from the anodic compartment; and a heat-exchange assembly (11) set along the exhaust gas supply line (7) for controlling, in synergism with a cathodic recirculation line (21), the temperature of the oxidizing gas supplied to the cathodic compartment (5).
