Nissan’s public interest in ethanol-fueled solid-oxide fuel cells stretches back several years to its announcement of the e-Bio Fuel cell system in 2016. The e-Bio Fuel Cell system featured an an SOFC stack and an on-board reformer to convert 100% ethanol or ethanol-blended water (55% water, 45% ethanol) to hydrogen.
