Everyone claims to understand Hydrogen Fuel Cell tech and infrastructure .... but for some reason the understanding goes out the door for Mantra's MRFC.

Just like the Hydrogen Fuel cell..... it would use Formate and oxygen to produce electricity (over simplified) but it produces very little heat and water as a byproduct (Compared to Hydrogen) Also, the formic acid could be pumped in vehicle fuel cells from existing infrastructure for gasoline..... not so with hydrogen.... plus hydrogen is highly combustible.... formate is not. So the vehicle or device utilizing a MRFC is actually electric...not a combustion engine or rechargeable battery.... chemical reactions produce the electricity.

On smaller devices like a cell phone for instance, there would be no plugging in to charge, just replace a fuel cell... instant gratification. Im sure the empties can be collected and refueled.

I would suggest looking up Hydrogen fuel cell tech to see more of the picture. The MRFC is more promising once developed.... safer, and more efficient. Producing the Formate is a greener option then producing hydrogen.
