The methanol fuel cell
HT PEM fuel cell stack
Blue World Technologies’ high-efficiency fuel cell stack is available in several variants enabling high system power density
Methanol fuel cell stack
The high-temperature PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell technology, which enables the Power-to-X eco-system, helps to address aspects of the green transition that cannot be solved by direct electrification and battery technology alone.
Blue World Technologies’ high-efficiency fuel cell stack is available in 9kW and 18kW variants with market-leading energy density.
Key features
Integrated evaporator
Tailored for steam reforming integration, this component not only simplifies the methanol evaporation process but also significantly cuts down on energy consumption. It's a dual-purpose innovation that enhances overall efficiency, making our fuel cell stack a sustainable and resource-efficient solution for a variety of applications.
High CO tolerance
The fuel cell stack can accept a higher concentrations of carbon monoxide of 1-3%. This enables a very simple and cost-efficient total system design without purification of the reformate gas.
Simple efficient cooling
The fuel cell stack operates at 160-180°C and is liquid cooled which enables a simple cooling system due to the relatively high temperature difference. Both the size of the cooling system and the parasitic power losses for running fans, among other things, are significantly reduced compared to other types of PEM fuel cells.
Optimised Waste Heat Utilisation
The 160-180°C liquid cooling medium enables use of the high value waste heat for various applications beyond what is known today from internal combustion and other types of PEM fuel cells.
Air pollution reduction
Our methanol fuel cells reduce NOx, SOx, and particle emission. Thereby contribute to defeating air pollution.
Reduced BOP components
The HT PEM fuel cell stack requires less Balance of Plant (BoP) components compared to similar PEM technologies. The HT PEM technology eliminates the need for Cell Voltage Monitoring (CVM) and humidification processes. This enhances overall efficiency but also reduces maintenance requirements, making the Blue World stack a cost-effective solution in a total system design.
