Blue World Technologies starting production of methanol fuel cells

Green Car Congress

The combination can be done without the implementation of expensive and cumbersome clean-up technologies which enables a simple and cost-effective system design. In the combination with HT PEM the waste heat is of sufficient temperature to drive this process, meaning an energy-free process which leads to a superior overall efficiency.

SoCalGas, Oberon Fuels partner to produce Dimethyl Ether from natural gas for transportation fuel; first such commercial facility in US

Green Car Congress

(Oberon envisions that the modular design can be deployed to remote stranded gas locations that would otherwise be difficult to harvest or to industrial operations where it can utilize waste CO 2 streams to increase output. Oberon also can use biomethane—landfill natural gas or waste (agricultural) natural gas&madsh;in its process.).
