Por, the problem for a fuel cell to use anything other than hydrogen, is the reformer. GE has been working for almost 20 YEARS through "Plug Power" to make a home fuel cell generator appliance. It was supposed to be available by 1999. Lots of my friends cycled through Plug. Nothing is on the market.

One of my neighbors, a PHD chemist who should know better, was trying to come up with a "Catalyst" which would split Hydrogen and Oxygen for less energy. I tried to explain how it violated the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
