Oh Yes!!! MRFC = Cheaper Cost, Smaller, higher Volumetric Power Density Then the Conventional Fuel cell that's larger, heavier, and More Expensive to produce...

No Brainer!!! MVTG is THE CHOICE period!!!

Here is the details:

BEST FUEL CELL!!! Mixed Reactant Fuel Cell (MRFC)



Mantra Energy: The Future of Portable Fuel Cell Technology?

http://www.altenergystocks.com/archives/2014/05/mantra_energy_the_future_of_portable_fuel_cell_technology_1.html

When one thinks of fuel cells and fuel cell technology some
names immediately come to mind. Ballard Power (BLDP) went public in
1993 and was listed on NASDAQ in 1995. A company that made its debut
in 1997 was Plug Power (PLUG), a joint venture between DTE Energy and
Mechanical Technology Inc. Hydrogenics (HYGS) is a company that has
been around for 60 years, but more recently has gotten investor
attention for their fuel cell technology.

Most of the technology produced by well-known fuel cell companies
share common features…

They are based on fuel cell technology that requires hydrogen gas or a
reformer that makes H2 out of the fossil fuel feed. They use a very
expensive, very rare catalyst, Platinum.
Portable fuel cells are based on fuel cell technology that requires a
PEM, Proton Exchange polymer Membrane
They have all enjoyed various levels of success, but the existing
technology appears to be limited to heavy vehicles (buses / forklifts)
and backup power systems for specific applications.
The reality is that most of the existing fuel cell technology has
never really reached the level of portability once imagined for fuel
cells.

However one new entrant in the fuel cell sector may be capable of
regenerating some of the early initial excitement. They have
eliminated the Achilles heel, the PEM membrane, the bipolar plates,
and the platinum catalyst…

That company is Mantra Energy Alternatives (MVTG) based out of British Columbia.

Recently MVTG has revealed their patented MRFC fuel cell. It is a
"membrane-less" and "platinum-free" ultra-low cost fuel cell that
appears to be totally unique in the market. As mentioned previously,
the PEM membrane, the bi-polar plates, and the precious metals
catalyst are among the most expensive and heavy parts of any fuel
cell. The PEM Membrane is also one of the degrading components of PEM
fuel cells, so the MVTG MRFC fuel cell is expected to have a much
longer operating life, because there is no membrane to degrade. MVTG
claims to have eliminated about 2/3rds of the cost of a typical PEM
style fuel cell.
