The HT PEM-technology operates at 160-180 °C and has a high resistance to impurities in reformat gas which makes it suitable to combine with fuel reformers. Methanol reforming converts a mix of methanol and water into a hydrogen-rich gas. The hydrogen produced is subsequently used in the fuel cell to produce electricity.
