Sushui Energy Technology (Sushui Tech), a Chinese start-up that produces fuel cells, will showcase direct methanol fuel cell technology, the development of which has been stalled for years. Sushui Tech will also launch the latest MOC and KH series products on the second day of the event. As reported, these two product series are reliable alternatives for clients of the well-known EFOY series made by SFC AG from Germany.

As the world needs diversified renewable energy solutions, as well as looking for more economical ways to store energy, methanol has become a potential candidate, nicknamed liquid sunlight. Direct methanol fuel has the advantage of portability, can be used on long journeys, and is able to adapt to extreme environmental conditions. So, methanol fuel has been proven to play an important role in critical communications, defense and security, environmental monitoring since it was first marketed.

"Sushui Tech's DMFC products have been verified and accepted for use in important missions in sea and land areas in the Chinese market. So, we want to expand the market in Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East in 2024," said Lou Ziyi, Marketing & Sales Director, Sushui Tech.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cells are a type of low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell . This fuel produces electrical power through a direct reaction between methanol and oxygen, and only produces a small amount of water vapor and CO₂, which can be recycled into methanol.

In recent years, the global sales volume of DMFC products has increased rapidly, driven by issues of reliable electricity supply in crisis areas, as well as difficulties in handling gaseous H₂. Once proton exchange membranes and catalysts produce new energy densities that enhance DMFC development plans, this technology will soon be commercially available to an increasingly broad segment of the energy market.
