Gasoline-sourced hydrogen favoured over methanol for vehicle fuel cells.(The Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry)(Brief Article)
The Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry has established and funded a new R & D project, to be supervised by it's New Energy Foundation, with the aim of finding a practical viable technology enabling gasoline to be used as the source of hydrogen as the fuel, in fuel cell powered vehicles.
Standard forms gasoline provided from service station pumps are not acceptable in their present form, principally because they contain pollutant sulphur.
Fuel cells in road vehicles are powered by electricity generated through chemical reaction that combines hydrogen with oxygen in the air. This is an ideal, non polluting, and non global warming process, as the combustion action only emits water and carbon dioxide.
There are two competing views on what should be the source of fuel cell hydrogen in vehicles. The first favours using methanol, and the second favours gasoline.
Methanol does not have the pollutant problem ascribed to gasoline, but if gasoline was cleaned up, and sulphur free, the ministry believes that it could be supplied from ordinary vehicle service stations, to be carried inside vehicles as the fuel cell hydrogen source, thus eliminating the need for special service units ...
