Fun-da-Mental#1........Every fuel cell..PEM...SOFC....MCFC.. and alkaline...requires pure hydrogen as a fuel. The natural gas supply piped into a home has the hydrogen in it stripped out to use as fuel. It requires heat to do this....A PEM and alkaline cell do not run hot enough to provide this heat so a additional piece of equipment called a reformer is used to strip hydrogen out of the natural gas...diesel etc. A SOFC and MCFC create high temperatures themselves so this heat can be used to strip hydrogen from whatever fuel supply. The natural gas/diesel/methanol may go directly into the cell but only the hydrogen from these fuels is being used. The oil/chemical industry already produces hydrogen in large amounts from oil and natural gas. Storage on board a vehicle safely...infa-structure for fueling....is expensive and may take a while to put in place. Until then Pem fuel cell cars will have small reformers on-board to provide hydrogen from gasoline/methanol/natural gas. Many companies are working on this.....raisin
