Abstract
The present invention relates to a flame-assisted fuel cell (FFC) and, more particularly, to the integration of a FFC in a fuel fired furnace or boiler to enable the generation of both electricity and heat from the fuel's chemical energy, transforming the furnace/boiler into a Combined Heating and Power (CHP) system.
