Humanity faces both energy shortage and environmental deterioration. Creating the next generation of highly efficient and clean energy becomes the key challenge. Fuel cell is an emerging technology for electric power generation for stationary, mobile and portable applications. Direct alcohol fuel cell is a new type that converts the chemical energy of liquid methanol or ethanol directly into electricity, delivering a low-cost and high energy-conversion system that is low in emissions. It promises to replace conventional batteries and even automotive internal combustion engines, helping China and the world to meet their energy challenge. Come see a demonstration of its prototype.
