Claim Text:
1. A solid oxide fuel cell system having a carbon monoxide generator using low-ash coal or ashless coal or graphite, the system comprising: a carbon supply unit configured to supply carbon powder composed of low-ash coal or ashless coal or graphite; a carbon dioxide supply unit configured to supply CO a carbon monoxide generating unit configured to produce CO by reacting the carbon powder supplied from the carbon supply unit with CO a fuel cell unit including at least one solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) having an anode and a cathode, wherein the carbon monoxide generating unit is configured to supply CO to the anode of the fuel cell unit, and CO wherein the solid oxide fuel cell is formed by sequentially coating a cathode, an electrolyte and an anode of layers on a porous support, wherein the carbon monoxide generating unit comprises heating powder made of a heat-resistant material that is not melted at reaction temperature, and the heating powder is distributed throughout the internal space of the carbon monoxide generating unit so that CO is produced by the reaction of the carbon powder with CO wherein the carbon monoxide generating unit comprises a furnace having an inlet and an outlet, and a plurality of reaction chambers that are provided in the furnace and fixed to the outer circumference of the inlet, and each of the plurality of reaction chambers has a through-hole formed at one end thereof so that a multilayer flow channel extending from the inlet to the outlet is formed, and wherein at least one of the plurality of reaction chambers comprises a heating reaction chamber having inserted therein a resistance heating element connected to a power source.
