Cells
For a while now I have had it in my mind that I should produce ethanol in my
back yard from biomass. Make electricity from the ethanol. Then, use the
electricity to power my home and sell the excess to the power company. Easy
right. Any coments.

Subject: [biofuel] Time Magazine features Direct Liquid Ethanol Fuel Cells
The only fuel cells that have a future on the mass market are those
that use liquid fuels - since storage is impractical for gaseous fuels
like hydrogen methane. The only company that I know of that is
developing Direct Liquid Fuel Cells is Medis Technologies in New York
(http://www.medistechnologies.com), they are making a fuel cell for
portable electronics that runs on ethanol without the need for a
reformer to extract hydrogen or a proton exchange membrane. Ethanol
is a renewable liquid fuel made by hydrolyzing and fermenting plant
matter such as wheat straw, corn stalks, sugar cane, sugar beats, wood
pulp sawdust, recycled newspapers cardboard, etc.. The great
thing about Medis Technologies approach is that they have a product
with mass market potential, so they can earn revenue while continuing
to improve their technology. In contrast, while automotive
manufacturers continue to tinker with useless hydrogen-based fuel
cells, they have yet to sell a single fuel cell-powered vehicle.
Now Time Magazine Europe has acknowledged Direct Liquid Ethanol Fuel
Cell technology.
