The on-site liberation of hydrogen from carrier fuels provides the basis for the accelerated adoption of AFC Energy fuel cells and the generation of sustainable off grid power in locations where hydrogen is uneconomic to transport or store.\n \n \n Following several months of development work, AFC Energy is now pleased to announce the successful field trial of its first prototype methanol Fuel Tower, generating on-site hydrogen from methanol. The Fuel Tower consists of methanol handling systems, fuel reformation and purification technologies, control and safety electronics with discreet intellectual property developed across several of these areas.\n \n \n The field trial was conducted in Spain in collaboration with and at the request of one o...
