There are already Liquid and Gaseous based fuel cells.

I think (the report's not completely clear) the difference is that you can also charge this battery, unlike a fuel cell. So you can charge it at home for short trips, have the benefits of regenerative braking while driving, and on long trips stop at a goo station for a replacement charge of goo.
If I'm understanding their design correctly, it also seems that you could easily change the amount of goo in the system, so you'd have a lighter system for everyday use, and for longer trips you could plug in a couple of extra goo modules.
