Scientists offered using methanol in power generation for electric cars
Technology is economical, safe, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient
The synthesis gas is fed to an electrochemical generator based on a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Hydrogen is oxidized in the SOFC anode, the energy of this chemical reaction is converted into electrical energy.

Samsung Heavy Industries said in early July that it had succeeded in developing an LNG carrier that gets propulsion power from solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), in collaboration with the U.S.-based company, Bloom Energy. SOFC constitute an eco-friendly technology that can replace marine propulsion engines and other devices run by fossil fuels.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Group also recently signed a partnership with Hyundai Motor Group to develop hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems for marine ships.
To cut carbon emissions, HMM, the country’s largest shipper, signed contracts with Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering to purchase 12 new container ships at the size of the 13,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) class of cargo capacity. These new containers will be installed with hybrid scrubbers, more energy-efficient than previous ships, giving the company strong environmental credentials.
In response to the changing trends, the Korean government is also swiftly establishing policies that can encourage local shipbuilders to develop eco-friendly ships
