Like SOFCs, they can also be operated with both pure hydrogen (H$_2$) and biogas, which could also contain CH$_4$ as well as CO$_2$ and CO \citep{02_lucia2014overview, 02_wang2020fundamentals}. -As such, SOFCs and MCFCs do not require any external reformer to convert other fuel types into H$_2$ as they use the same reforming reactions from the equations \ref{eq:Steam reforming} and \ref{eq:WGS} +As such, SOFCs and MCFCs do not require any external reformers to convert other fuel types into H$_2$ as they use the same reforming reactions from the equations \ref{eq:Steam reforming} and \ref{eq:WGS} \citep{MCFScontreras2021molten}. It is also possible to combine SOFC and MCFC with working temperatures of 550-700 °C which are slighlty higher than a normal MCFC at 650 °C \citep{MCFS_cui2021review}. Furthermore, the electrical efficiency of the MCFCs can reach up to 60\% \citep{wang_preparation_2018}.
