New book from Research and Markets outlines the promising future of methanol fuel cells
Research and Markets, an extensive market research network based in Ireland, has launched a new book detailing the benefits of these fuel cells. Methanol fuel cells are a variant of hydrogen fuel cells and make use of a proton exchange membrane as a means to generate electricity. Research and Markets believes that these fuel cells are poised to become one of the most promising alternative energy systems available.
Methanol fuel cells are beginning to attract a great deal of attention from the alternative energy community.

In terms of cost, methanol fuel cells are more attractive than their hydrogen predecessors. While hydrogen is the most abundant element known to man, the method of producing it through a conventional fuel cell is expensive due to the platinum components used in the system.
