Methanol Fuel cells
Korean chaebol Samsung has announced it is bring ing a Methanol fuel cell to the market. What is great about this development is that it may make Lithium ion batteries obsolete, in which case we will have fewer environmental problems in disposing of battery chemicals. However, it maybe the case that we're replacing that problem with more carbon emissions.
It remains to be seen how this development works out. Having said that fuel cell automobiles such as the Toyota Prius brings great promise for the future, so this technology comes at a good time, if not a little on the late-side. I guess it's a case of better late than never.
