Blue World Technologies starting production of methanol fuel cells

Green Car Congress

The high-temperature (HT) PEM technology operates at 160-180 °C and has a high resistance to impurities in reformat gas—making it suitable to combine with fuel reformers. The combination can be done without the implementation of expensive and cumbersome clean-up technologies which enables a simple and cost-effective system design.

The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

FCEVs use hydrogen—a lightweight, abundantly available gas—to generate the electricity through a chemical reaction and power the electric motors that move the car. While electric cars often require several hours to charge fully, hydrogen cars can be refueled in just a few minutes, similar to traditional gas vehicles. How Do FCEVs Work?
