Hi clett,

You're still missing my point.

The system never burn the methane.
The integral fuel treatment does extract H2 from CH4(methane) without burning methane.

Then, we get the 31% electric energy from the methane energy(100%) plus 40% heat recovery energy from the methane energy(100%), total 71% efficiency. This is the fuel cell cogeneration system.
