Nissan Develops Ethanol Powered Fuel Cell

The race to make environmentally friendly vehicles also include the use of renewable fuels. As the Nissan who developed the fuel cell propulsion system with a tank attached ethanol (on board) in the car to generate electric power to the engine.
It is said Nissan, a system called fuel-cell e-bio is claimed can travel more than 370 miles is only one tank of ethanol. This system uses a Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) to generate electricity from the reaction of some field, in this case, including ethanol, oxygen and natural gas.
Fuel cells use hydrogen e-bio as Toyota Mirai. But the Nissan system, the hydrogen produced in the car using a tool created. In addition to emission-free, according to the company's bio-ethanol fuel is readily available and is already widely available in North America, such as hydrogen.
Even some countries such as Brazil has many uses ethanol fuel, this means the infrastructure already widely available. Among other benefits, the cost of making the system less expensive than traditional hydrogen fuel cells, because it does not require a fuel tank the use of carbon fiber materials are expensive metals.

Nissan also claims the new features in this system, the silent journey, linear start-ups and fast acceleration. Unfortunately not elaborated their respective functions. Nissan fuel cell system e-bio is expected to become mainstream and can be realized to the market in 2020. S
besides affordability, safer and easier to refill than traditional fuels.
