Blue World Technologies starting production of methanol fuel cells

Green Car Congress

The methanol fuel cell system is based on High-Temperature PEM technology and methanol to hydrogen reforming. Methanol reforming is a relatively simple process that converts a mix of methanol and water into a hydrogen-rich gas. CO 2 + 3 H 2 The hydrogen produced is subsequently used in the fuel cell to produce electricity.
