Nissan have just announced a world first SOFC ( Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) which runs on Bio-Ethanol Electric Power. Might be of interest to some members - Dave ;)

Do they give any idea on the efficiency, mpg, cost of manufacture? I guess it would be hard to get these figures as it's still in development. The concept sounds great and a much better idea compared to hydrogen. The main drawback I can see is creating the biomass will put a strain of food production for a world ever growing the human population.

Daewar, a very good point. However this is Nissan / Renault's plan to use Sugar Cane and they appear to be confident there is enough - Dave ;)
