Bio-fuel cells
Earlier this month, here in Ohio, the fuel cell developer Technology Management Inc. announced that it had succesfully operated its 1kw solid oxide fuel cell stack on vegetable oil from soybeans. It has been said that this is the first instance of a solid oxide fuel cell running on vegetable oil, and that this development could break open the market for fuel cells in the developing world.
This does seem to be an innovation of merit. I have no reason to doubt the assertion, but I’m curious if any of our readers know of other examples of biofuels in fuel cells.
