Importantly it all happens on a small-scale at the membranes of the fuel-cell; so there is no free H2, just that which is only free to transfer ions across the cell junction with the outside air (as a straight H2 fuel cell would). The only difference is it cracks each of the three double-hydrogens off from the methanol (+ 1x H20) in three discrete events, but all at the junction of the cell.


....I hope I got that right! ~ I'm only reading about Hemp (to make bio-methanol), nothing else!
