Advent Technologies and Alfa Laval partner in marine methanol-powered fuel cell development project

Green Car Congress

Methanol in particular has attracted substantial interest as a future fuel for the marine industry, and Advent’s HT-PEM fuel cells operate well on methanol, using an integrated reformer. This gives us optimism about the future and our contribution to the industry’s goal of net zero by 2050.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable. This growth will require high megawatt capacities across England’s road networks. Not only can IPG’s technology deliver low-emission, pollutant-free energy on today’s cleaner fuels.
