The world is undergoing an energy transition to reduce CO 2 emissions and mitigate climate change. At standard temperature and pressure, air is a gas, but under certain conditions, it can become a liquid or solid. The hydrogen is liquefied where electricity is cheap. —Julian Hunt Resources Hunt, J., Montanari, P.,

Making the switch to an all-electric vehicle takes a bit of a leap of faith. Many of us had our first electric vehicle experience with cheap radio-controlled toys that ran on a couple of D batteries before quickly growing wobbly and unresponsive. This doesn’t just kick in once the battery is totally depleted.

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.
