Dimethyl Ether-based Fuel Cell
M. Energy is developing a technology for a fuel cell that runs on dimethyl ether (DME). DME is an inexpensive, widely available, nontoxic gas. It can be produced from biomass. It needs moderate pressure of 57 bars to stay liquid at room temperature and therefore can be easily handled and stored. Also, it can be fueled in every gas station. The company has partnered with Ballard in order to achieve its goal of developing a 57KW DME-based fuel cell for use as an onboard range extender and charger.
