Not necessarily. Although they are no panacea. Firstly the fuel-cell may be more efficient in producing electrical power so less fuel needs to be consumed, and being smaller and widely distributed, waste-heat may be more easily used. Secondly because fuel cells can be distributed close to electricity consumption there may be less transmission losses. Thirdly, there is the fuel: the proportion of CO2 produced depends on the molecular weight of the fuel consumed; coal produces more CO2 per joule than gas. If the fuel is from a sewage plant, then the gases processed would have been oxidised anyway and the fuel cell is making use of them.
