Abstract

A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine having a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order, the turbomachine further including an outer casing; a fuel cell assembly positioned within the outer casing of the turbomachine, the fuel cell assembly including a fuel cell and an output products line in fluid communication with an outlet of the fuel cell for receiving output products from the fuel cell; a fuel delivery assembly including a fuel line; and a reformer in communication with the fuel line and the output products from the fuel cell during operation of the gas turbine engine to convert a fuel flow through the fuel line to a hydrogen rich gas.
