Formic acid is the future, no doubt of that, but Mvtg has a better, cheaper way to make the formic acid than any bio-enzyme methods could possibly achieve, formic acid that NPWZ would need, using industrial waste gas CO2, the worlds looming climate change disaster source, as the feed stock, and there is plenty of it to go around, dirt cheap with the world planning to bury it on-mass.
Alstom, and Lafarge Two of the largest international firms in the world in their business, just Google them) and Mantra Energy, Mvtg are about to build a plant at the Lafarge cement plant in Canada to capture CO2 waste gas emissions from converting limestone into cement (which releases CO2, the second largest source of CO2 in the world just under coal fired power plants) and makes formic acid out of that CO2, with a simple low cost Mvtg-Erc reactor.
Can some one give me a direct link to issued or published patent applications that NPWZ owns the rights to? I would like to compare them.
I do not expect Mantra to enter the market NEAH is involved in from what I just read here, but Mantra in my opinion has the best next generation fuel cell technology now and it does run on Formic acid.
Other DD worth noting is the Tekion-Neil Huff-Motorla-Ballard story of formic acid fuel cells for Motorola smart phones, that the Apple I-phone introduction with new Li-ion batteries scuttled by getting to the market first (just barely, so NEAH may have something!!!!!). I also hear Apple is now working on a fuel cell to replace li-ion batteries for tablets.
Could the NPWZ fuel cell be based on the Tekion work?
For those that do not know me, I am a chemical engineer, involved in this sector.
