A fuel cell system adapted to receive fuel having hydrocarbon content from a fuel supply, said fuel cell system comprising: a fuel cell including: means internal of the cell for reforming said hydrocarbon content of said fuel from said supply to produce fuel process gas; and anode and cathode sections for receiving fuel process gas and oxidant process gas; and means for receiving the gas exhausted from said anode section and for separating from said exhaust gas fuel process gas contained in said exhausted gas to the exclusion of the other gases contained in said exhaust gas, to thereby provide separated fuel process gas and remaining exhausted gas.
