An alternative for electrical energy generation fromcoal is presented in this article. The RFCS project“Efficient conversion of coal to electricity: directcoal fuel cells (DCFC)” is currently investigating theadvantages associated to the technology. To wit:a high energetic efficiency and very low emissionsof pollutants. In the midterm report of the project itis shown how the characteristics of the coals usedare a key in the behavior and durability of the cell.It seems that coals with high reactivity and low ashcontent are desirable. Furthermore, the addition ofcertain catalysts may be important to promote in situgasification of carbon. Currently the work is centeredin the upscaling and developments on sealing,interconnections and fuel feeding systems.
