Methanol as an Alternative to Hydrogen

Methanol Fuel Cell

  • Mobion Fuel Cell Feeds Your Phone for Over 2,700 Hours (http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/1882/74/) - MTI Micro’s Mobion fuel cells (http://www.mtimicrofuelcells.com/technology/) have broken a new record – the power pack has hit over 2,700 hours of continuous use on a cell phone. They’ve been testing out the fuel cells with intent to demonstrate just how much energy their battery can get over Li-Ion power packs.(EcoGeek; July 15, 2008)
  • Methanol: The New Hydrogen (http://www.technologyreview.com/BizTech/wtr_16629,296,p1.html) - Advances in methanol synthesis, coupled with improved fuel cell technology, could make it a viable alternative to gasoline. (MIT Technology Review; Mar. 27, 2006)

  • Cannabis Hemp as a Global Warming Solution - Proponents argue that easily grown and robust Cannabis Hemp is one of the best if not the very best plants overall for fuel, building supplies, medicine, fiber, food, paper, and substitute for wood. Some go so far as to argue that it could be the best solution to global warming.
