1.4.4 Electrochemical Conversion
ОглавлениеBiomass can be converted into electrical energy by electrochemical (electrocatalytic) oxidation of the material. This can be performed in a carbon fuel cell, using an ethanol fuel cell, a methanol fuel cell and a microbial fuel cell. Fuel can also be consumed indirectly through a fuel cell system that includes a reformer that converts biomass into a mixture of CO and H2 before being consumed in the fuel cell [78].
