Karma, an EV making company is working on something from its usual EVs hydrogen cars that makes use of methane as base fuel. The company will be working with Denmark’s Blue World Technologies on a methanol fuel cell that reforms methanol into hydrogen.
Both companies didn’t talk much about how the technology would function or what emissions it would produce. The idea is to install one in Karma’s upcoming GSe-6 electric vehicle by the end of 2021 for testing in the US and Denmark. If it works according to plan, Karma might eventually give us methanol fuel-cell cars.
Methanol has an advantage over hydrogen in that it’s a liquid at room temperature, so it can be stored and distributed like gasoline or diesel. You’d also refuel a methanol car in a couple of minutes, where EVs take much longer than that to recharge.
Creating methanol with electricity, then using it in a fuel cell to power a vehicle, is far less efficient than just charging a battery directly.
