A fuel cell system includes a gas fuel source, a fuel cell stack fluidly connected to the gas fuel source by a first pathway, and a turboexpander generator fluidly connected to the gas fuel source by a bypass fluid pathway in parallel with at least a portion of the first pathway. The first pathway transmits a first amount of gas fuel from the gas fuel source to the fuel cell stack. The turboexpander generator receives a second amount of gas fuel from the gas fuel source and reduces a pressure and temperature of the second amount of the gas fuel. The fuel cell system also includes a motor electrically connected to the fuel cell stack and the turboexpander generator, where the fuel cell stack and the turboexpander generator each supply electrical power to the motor.
