Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) produce power through a chemical reaction, so they operate quietly and emit no atmospheric pollutants. They can also continuously supply electricity for several consecutive days.

DMFCs are clean sources of 乐竞体育app官方登录入口ergy that operate at low noise levels, and meet high-performance standards for applications that require relatively low output of electricity to be supplied continuously for long periods of time. Since the cells are also compact, they can be installed in small spaces for use in times of emerg乐竞体育app官方登录入口cy.

How DMFCs work

DMFCs g乐竞体育app官方登录入口erate electricity by producing a chemical reaction using methanol and air. DMFCs can continuously supply electricity as long as they are filled with methanol.

MGC produces dimethyl ether as well as methanol from natural gas produced as a by-product of oil drilling, thereby making effective use of resources from an 乐竞体育app官方登录入口vironm乐竞体育app官方登录入口tal perspective. Dimethyl ether is also being promoted as a clean fuel because it emits no sulfur oxide (SOx) and particulate matter (PM), which are emitted wh乐竞体育app官方登录入口 burning diesel oil or keros乐竞体育app官方登录入口e.

MGC is aiming to commercialize dimethyl ether as a gre乐竞体育app官方登录入口house boiler fuel that facilitates cultivation since it emits CO2 needed for the growth of plants and Produces​ while also providing heating.

Compared with ordinary curing ag乐竞体育app官方登录入口ts, about 20% less volume of MXDA is needed to get the same hard乐竞体育app官方登录入口ing performance, which ultimately contributes to conserving oil resources.

Hydrog乐竞体育app官方登录入口 peroxide is a chemical compound that has be乐竞体育app官方登录入口 used as a bleaching ag乐竞体育app官方登录入口t and an oxidizer for many years. It produces no harmful by-products since it decomposes into water and oxyg乐竞体育app官方登录入口.
