Methane, a primary constituent of natural gas, is burned to produce heat and other forms of energy for homes and businesses. Direct methane fuel cells-in which methane is used directly, without first being converted into hydrogen could produce energy more efficiently than combustion-based methods. Secondly, methanol, a liquid carrier of hydrogen, is a fuel employed in fuel cells which can be compared in its use to petrol or diesel fuels for internal-combustion engines. It is being examined closely by the automotive industry for its potential for use in drive concepts.
