Portable fuel cells powered directly by ethanol could soon be practical, thanks to a new catalyst that breaks a strong bond at the heart of ethanol molecules, freeing electrons and generating ...

Nissan has announced a first-of-its-kind ethanol-fueled fuel cell power system for commercial vehicles expected to be available by 2020.

CARS.COM — Nissan is developing fuel-cell technology for cars that uses ethanol as its hydrogen source rather than hydrogen. The automaker is looking to implement this system in its cars by 2020.

John Voelcker June 14, 2016 Comment Now! When the world at large thinks of fuel-cell vehicles—to the extent it does, at least today—they are associated with hydrogen as the fuel to power them.

PARK RIDGE, Ill. Fuel cells inched closer to the consumer electronics market this week as a portable fuel cell developer unveiled a technology that it claims could vastly improve the performance of ...

Flex fuel can offer you another choice of what to fill your vehicle up with, but what is it? And, can everyone use it? We're ...

That research, completed in 2022, showed that ethanol fuel cells on light-duty vehicles “does not appear to be a near term opportunity.” But that doesn’t mean it’s not an option worth ...

It can fuel 20 to 30 Class 8 trucks a day, he added. In contrast, more than 42 football fields of solar panels and a 1.5-acre electrolyzer will produce the same amount of hydrogen, Lewiston noted.

The ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) serves as a crucial anode reaction in direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs), traditionally relying on the noble metal platinum (Pt) as its ideal anode catalyst.

According to the report, the global automotive fuel cell market size was valued at $0.3 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $12.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 45.7% from 2024 to ...
