The “LiquidPower” project (JTI-FCH financed project), aiming on developing new generation fuel cell systems for the early markets of back-up-power\/telecom (BT) and material handling vehicles (MH) includes an innovative hydrogen supply method based on onsite methanol reforming.<\/p>\n

The project will be conducted by a consortium of European companies that for several years have invested significantly in developing and testing hydrogen, fuel cell and reforming technology for the addressed markets.<\/p>\n

Dantherm Power A\/S (DANT) and H2 Logic A\/S (H2L) have reached a technology level with large scale demonstration and early market deployment taking place for the MH and BT markets.<\/p>\n

Catator AB have developed and marketed proprietary reforming catalysts and reforming technologies since 1990 for use in burners for heat production, fuel processors and fuel cell applications. Use of the technology to reform methanol onsite as supply of hydrogen fuel to the BT and MH markets holds a significant market potential.<\/p>\n

Zentrum f\u00fcr Brennstoffzellen Technik GmbH (ZBT) is to contribute to the project with years of R&D experience in fuel processing technologies. In close cooperation with Catator AB the methanol reformer system for onsite production of hydrogen will be developed. ZBT focuses on theoretical and experimental investigations in reforming catalysts, the development of a small scale PSA unit for pure hydrogen output and the integration of the reformer system consisting of the methanol reformer and the PSA unit.<\/p>\n
