Portable Methanol Fuel Cell

2 recipients will receive $964,000. This is a first-time earmark.
Year Enacted: 2005
Description: Effort was designed to develop direct methanol fuel cell electrochemistry by employing advanced micro-fuel cell technology in passive, ambient conditions (e.g. no balance of plant for humidity and no temperature controls). This no fault methanol fuel cell module (cells will be both in parallel and in series) will leverage industrial battery research efforts directed towards the consumer market. The ultimate research goal is to provide a lighter, longer lasting power supply thereby reducing the weight of batteries carried by individual Marines.
