Neah Power Systems pitching on-board formic acid reforming for automotive hydrogen fuel cell applications

Green Car Congress

Formic acid, which is a common preservative and antibacterial agent and is produced naturally in ants and bees, is also is an energy-dense storage medium for hydrogen, with theoretical gravimetric energy density of 1,700 Wh/kg. The principal danger from formic acid is from skin or eye contact with concentrated liquid or vapors.
