Biofuel Policy Proposal: Why Formic Acid?
Some thoughts:
Given the constraints that “face” BBN vehicles (Biofuels [constraints in the availability of bio-resources]) and electric vehicles [constraints in the availability of metal minerals, especially rare earth metals such as dysprosium], I predict that there will be 4 main types of future vehicles that together will ‘guarantee’ sustainable mobility, namely:
1. Bio-fueled IC vehicles (ICV).
2. Plug-in electric vehicles (EV).
3. Formic acid fuel cell vehicles (FCV).
4. Formic acid based hydrogen-fueled ICV.
Formic acid : liquid HCOOH (—–> H2 + CO2).
