Zusammenfassung:	A method for converting fuel energy to electricity includes the steps of converting a higher molecular weight gas into at least one lower molecular weight gas, supplying at least one of the lower molecular weight gases to at least one turbine (120) to produce electricity and electrochemically oxidizing at least one of the lower molecular weight gases in fuel cells (110, 111). A system for converting fuel energy to electricity includes a reformer (102) for converting a higher molecular weight gas into at least one lower molecular weight gas, at least one turbine (120) to produce electricity from expansion of at least one of the lower molecular weight gases, and at least one fuel cell (110, 111). The system can further include at least one separation device for substantially dividing the lower molecular weight gases into at least two gas streams prior to the electromechanical oxidation step. A nuclear reactor (124) can be used to supply at least a portion of the heat the required for the chemical conversion process. Un metodo para convertir energia de combustible a electricidad incluye los pasos de convertir un gas de mayor peso molecular en al menos un gas de menor peso molecular, suministrar al menos uno de los gases de menor peso molecular a al menos una turbina (120) para producir electricidad y oxidar electroquimicamente al menos uno de los gases de menor peso molecular en celdas de combustible (110, 111). Un sistema para convertir energia de combustible a electricidad incluye un reformador (102) para convertir un gas de mayor peso molecular en al menos un gas de menor peso molecular, al menos una turbina (120) para producir electricidad a partir de la expansion de al menos uno de los gases de menor peso molecular y al menos una celda de combustible (110, 111). El sistema puede incluir ademas al menos un dispositivo de separacion para dividir substancialmente los gases de menor peso molecular en al menos dos corrientes de gas antes del paso de oxidacion electromecanica. Un reactor nuclear (124) puede ser usado para suministrar al menos una porcion del calor requerido para el proceso de conversion quimica.
