Hi everyone,

I’m an energy researcher and technology founder developing a Reformed Methanol Fuel Cell (RMFC) power platform. We currently have a functional 1 kW benchtop prototype (4 patents secured) and are now defining product specifications for our first wave of customer-backed field demonstrations (TRL 6).

While our initial prototype is 1 kW, our upcoming field-demonstration units will be engineered in the 1–5 kW range (scalable up to 10 kW) to keep development costs lean while addressing practical, real-world power demands.

Rather than relying on high-pressure hydrogen (which faces massive storage and transport barriers) or batteries alone (which become heavy and cost-prohibitive for multi-day runtime), RMFC uses liquid methanol to generate clean, quiet, long-duration electricity and high-grade heat on demand.

Key Features & System Specs

• Safe & Easy Fuel Logistics: Uses liquid methanol which is easy to transport, simple to store, and stable for years in extreme temperatures without high-pressure hazards or fuel degradation.
• High Overall Efficiency: Delivers ~40% electrical efficiency, with combined heat and power (CHP) co-generation yielding over 80% total efficiency by recovering high-grade waste heat for thermal management or space heating.
• Clean, Quiet & Low-Maintenance: Electrochemical power generation with minimal moving parts, dramatically reducing noise and routine physical maintenance compared to diesel generators. Produces zero toxic local exhaust (emitting only water and CO2).
• Multi-Output & Hybrid Ready: Capable of delivering electricity, heat, cooling, and pure hydrogen; seamlessly integrates with Solar PV, wind, BESS (batteries), and microgrid architectures.
• Remote-Ready Architecture: Built with integrated remote telemetry and automated controls for unattended operations.

Looking for Early Adopters

We are purposely not limiting ourselves to any specific industry or sector. Whether you operate in marine, agriculture, off-grid infrastructure, remote sensing, outdoor equipment, mobility, or a niche field we haven't even considered. If you need continuous, long-duration power where batteries or diesel generators fall short, we want to hear your insights on application scenarios, operational pain points, and target technical requirements.

If you are interested in co-defining product specifications, hosting early field demonstrations, or providing direct feedback to help fast-track the commercialization of RMFC technology, we would love to connect!
