VIASPACE sets itself apart in the Fuel Cell market by using methanol instead of hydrogen. Investors are taking interest in methanol fuel cell technology because of the technical advantages.
Hydrogen cannot be fed directly into the fuel cell which consequently requires complicated catalytic reforming. Since methanol does not have this disadvantage, it is easier to manage and doesn’t demand to be stored at high pressures and low temperatures.
Methanol also has a higher energy density then hydrogen; as a result it can store a greater amount of energy in a tighter space.
