As automakers’ efforts towards electrification speed up, in an attempt to stay ahead of increasingly stringent emissions regulations, it becomes easy to forget that battery-electric vehicles are just one of the many potential avenues being explored by the automotive world to create sustainable mobility. Although hydrogen-powered cars, such as the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell and Toyota Mirai, have become notorious for not being viable in a world with limited hydrogen infrastructure, automotive engineers have been investigating other ways of employing hydrogen power. One of them is the use of reformed methanol: the word “reformed” refers to a chemical process that turns methanol into hydrogen.
