| Abstract | In today’s world, there is a global shortage of energy resources and a need to promote carbon neutrality by eliminating fossil fuels. Many expectations have been placed on the search for new energy sources, especially in Japan which has few energy resources. An ideal energy source should be able to be procured domestically, and preferably have high environmental adaptability using waste and recycled materials. As part of this search, JTEKT is focusing on formic acid derived from waste by promoting the development of fuel cells that can use formic acid directly as fuel. In this review, the characteristics of formic acid from the viewpoint of fuel and the performance of direct formic acid fuel cells are described. |
