The equipment supplied by Methanol Reformer will be integrated by PowerCell into a complete Fuel-to-Power system combining methanol reforming with PEM fuel cell systems. The system will also include hydrogen buffer storage and integrated system controls.

The configuration will enable the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to test different operational profiles, ranging from steady-state operation to dynamic load cycles. The resulting operational knowledge is expected to support the further development and deployment of integrated fuel cell systems across a range of applications.

Javier Torres, Managing Director of Methanol Reformer, said: “We are pleased to have signed this contract with PowerCell for the DLR Fuel-to-Power project. This project is an important step for Methanol Reformer and further demonstrates the competitiveness of our methanol-to-hydrogen technology and our ability to respond effectively to customer requirements.”
