Biofuel fuelcells come to town

If this is true, it represents and important break through in the fuel cell market – fuel cells run on biofuel.

The CleanTech blog picked up on this:

Earlier this month, here in Ohio, the fuel cell developer Technology Management Inc. issued a press release that it had succesfully operated its 1 kw solid oxide fuel cell stack on vegetable oil from soybeans.

As reported on the Internet, it is claimed that this is the first instance of a solid oxide fuel cell running on vegetable oil, and that this development could break open the market for fuel cells in the developing world.
