Solutions for the car industry
Metha Energy believes that to ensure a succesful implementation of innovative environmental friendly technology in this area we must;
- provide the end-user with the same or better driving properties that he/she has today and at the same time reduce CO2 significantly
and,
- that any successful development towards this must take into consideration the realistic distribution of the necessary energy source. Most other fuel cells today are fueled by hydrogen, which will demand a completely new infrastructure for distribution, which is in reality not going to happen for many years. Our solution using methanol can be implemented into the current distribution infrastructure at a very fast pace and at a much lower cost.
| The first car with our methanol powered fuel cell is being presented in connection with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference - COP15 through December 2009 in Copenhagen. |  |
Our HT-PEM fuel cells are air-cooled and so do not require a separate cooling system. The technology operate at 160 degrees celsius.
We see the future electric vehicle drive-trains as hybrids between battery and methanol powered fuel cells, where the battery provides the speed and the fuel cell provides the power.
Currently we are proposing cooperation with interested parties and below you can see suggested solutions and indicative prices for initial test systems. We also offer solutions based on your specific requirements.
Metha Energy can also in cooperation with our partners provide complete systems and rebuild of cars.
