Summary:This paper is a review of the current state of the problem of the development and manufacturing of fuel cells (FCs). The technical features of FCs that are promising for the use of methane as a fuel are considered. The physico-chemical characteristics of the materials for the basic FC components applicable for the use of methane are analyzed. In this review, information on the FCs developed, their electrophysical characteristics, and production technologies is presented. The basic problems that occur during the operation of FCs are described. Promising trends for the development of methane-based FCs are discussed and evaluated.
