Hi all
I have been working with the university of Birmingham, on there barge, running water quality instrumentation to test water quality in the canal (using a small fuel cell it has been possible to increase usage by 400%) and is practical for our purposes. However at the moment it is not a practical solution to my mind, they are however at Birmingham working on all aspects of the problem, Sustainable Hydrogen Production - from biological waste through the use of microbes, Safe and Efficient Hydrogen Storage - using metals to adsorb the hydrogen to its surface so that it can be stored at between 6 and 10 bar. Hydrogen Utilisation - implementation of fuel calls and adaption of technologies and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Economy - with the obvious necessity to provide a distribution network here is a link to a pdf that explains there work if anyone is interested

oh and we've just purchased an Efoy 600 methanol fuel cell to test at the moment for field kit monitoring projects so I’ll let u know how that goes if anyone is interested
