Methanol Institute releases two reports on methanol as safe, efficient and clean fuel

Green Car Congress

The Methanol Institute (MI) released two new reports on the use of methanol as a safe, efficient and clean alternative fuel for cars, trucks and buses. Water content in tested methanol gasoline blends is negligible. All low and medium blends (up to 30 % vol. For higher methanol blends, starting at 50 % vol.

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

Green Car Congress

The methanol fuel applied for the fuel cells is a pre-mix consisting of 60% methanol and 40% demineralized and de-ionized water (on a volume basis). Moreover, there is no water condenser needed, which again means lower weight, higher efficiency, and lower cost compared to pure methanol.

The combination can be done without the implementation of expensive and cumbersome clean-up technologies which enables a simple and cost-effective system design. Methanol reforming is a relatively simple process that converts a mix of methanol and water into a hydrogen-rich gas. Blue World Technologies methanol fuel cell stack.

The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

However, a handful of market-based and technological hurdles, such as high car repair costs and lack refueling stations, still stand in the way. The hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to create water vapor, which the vehicle emits as harmless exhaust. FCEVs produce zero emissions at the point of use—only water vapor is released.
