Methanol (MeOH) can be utilized directly (without the need for a reformer) with Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA). It also allows a liquid fuel to be used directly in a fuel cell instead of a gaseous fuel. The DMFC MEA is often useful in lower power applications. The DMFC MEA is a 3-Layer configuration, also known as Catalyst Coated Membrane (CCM).
