Phosphoric-acid systems are likely to fall out of favor because they are less efficient than other fuel cells and require a toxic gas as their catalyst. Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Methanol fuel cells are
So it makes sense to convert these fuels to hydrogen for use in stationary fuel cells. Both methanol and natural gas can be converted to hydrogen in a steam reformer. The Steam Reformer There are a couple of types of steam reformers, one reforming methanol and the other reforming natural ...
MTBE is the acronym for methyl tertiary butyl ether, a fairly simple molecule that is created from methanol. MTBE gets added to gasoline for two reasons: It boosts octane. It is an oxygenate, meaning that it adds oxygen to the reaction when it burns. Ideally, an oxygenate reduces the ...
Combustion is a heat energy generation process by burning of a substance. The burning process converts the chemical energy of matter into heat energy, and combustion is a method to produce heat energy from fuels. The by-product of combustion is various pollutants....
(SP) to power auxiliary engine instead of marine fuels to reduce carbon emissions during in-port time. The SP system has been successfully implemented in several ports, including Shanghai, Los Angeles, Nagasaki, and California, with all European ports expected to adopt this approach by 2025 (...
and the trend here is similar to our previous results of PdxPt(1-x)nanoparticles22. Recently reported Pd catalysts also demonstrate formate formation at low overpotential and high efficiency23. On the other hand, Pt(111) does not produce any measurable amounts of formic acid. Previous studies ...
The climate energy pathways assume biomass will phase out fossil fuels. This is in line with Cembureau's roadmap (Cembureau, 2020a). The plan does not seem to be to use biomass that is specifically produced for fuel use, but instead to increase the current use of biomass waste. As these...

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Methanol fuel cells are comparable to a PEMFC in regards to operating temperature but are not as efficient. Also, the DMFC requires a relatively large amount of platinum to act as a catalyst, which makes these fuel cells expensive. ...
