1. A method for removing CO, H2 and CH4 from an anode waste gas stream from a fuel cell configured to convert hydrogen and carbon monoxide to water and carbon dioxide, the method comprising passing the anode waste gas stream comprising CO, H2 and CH4 through a catalyst system, wherein the anode waste gas stream first contacts a platinum/palladium catalyst and then contacts a copper/manganese catalyst, wherein the contacting with the platinum/palladium catalyst and with the copper manganese catalyst completely converts the CO and H2 of the anode waste gas stream, and converts at least 85 percent of the CH4 of the anode waste gas stream. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said copper/manganese catalyst further comprises at least one rare earth metal. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said at least one rare earth metal is selected from the group consisting of lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu) and mixtures thereof. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said at least one rare earth metal comprises Lanthanum (La). 5. The method of claim 3, wherein said at least one rare earth metal comprises Cerium (Ce). 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said copper/manganese catalyst comprises manganese and copper oxides supported on porous inorganic supports. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said porous inorganic supports are selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, silicon dioxide-aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide and magnesium oxide. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the anode waste gas stream is contacted with the platinum/palladium catalyst at a lower temperature than the temperature at which the anode waste gas stream is contacted with the copper/manganese catalyst. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the contacting with the platinum/palladium catalyst and with the copper manganese catalyst completely converts 100 percent of the CO and H2 of the anode waste gas stream. 10. A catalyst system for removing CO, H2 and CH4 from an anode waste gas stream from a fuel cell said catalyst system comprising a first platinum/palladium catalyst and a second copper/manganese catalyst, wherein said system is configured such that in use, said anode waste stream contacts said first catalyst before contacting said second catalyst. 11. The catalyst system of claim 10, wherein said copper/manganese catalyst comprises manganese and copper oxides supported on porous inorganic supports. 12. The catalyst system of claim 11, wherein said porous inorganic supports are selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, silicon dioxide-aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide and magnesium oxide. 13. The catalyst system of claim 11, wherein said copper/manganese catalyst further comprises at least one rare earth metal. 14. The catalyst system of claim 13, wherein said at least one rare earth metal is selected from the group consisting of lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu) and mixtures thereof. 15. The catalyst system of claim 14, wherein said at least one rare earth metal comprises Lanthanum (La). 16. The catalyst system of claim 14, wherein said at least one rare earth metal comprises Cerium (Ce). 17. The catalyst system of claim 10, wherein the mass ratio of copper to manganese on said second copper/manganese catalyst is in the range of 0.4 to 0.9. 18. The catalyst system of claim 10, wherein the mass ratio of copper to manganese on said second copper/manganese catalyst is in the range of 0.5 to 0.75. 19. A catalytic system comprising a fuel cell configured to convert hydrogen and carbon monoxide to water and carbon dioxide and to provide an anode waste gas stream comprising CO, H2 and CH4; andthe catalyst system according to claim 10, wherein the fuel cell and the catalyst system are configured such that the anode waste gas stream first contacts the platinum/palladium catalyst, then contacts the copper/manganese catalyst. 20. The system according to claim 19, wherein the second copper/manganese catalyst includes 20-80% of manganese, 20-60% of copper, and 0-20% of one or more rare earth metals selected from the group consisting of lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu) and mixtures thereof, all on an oxide basis, and wherein the mass ratio of copper to manganese on said second copper/manganese catalyst is in the range of 0.4 to 0.9.
