Nature World: Until recently, fuel cells were unable to use biomass as a fuel because scientists lacked an effective catalyst system for the polymeric material (the biomass). Low temperature fuel cells that use methanol or hydrogen to produce energy have been well studied, but a low temperature biomass fuel cell would create a new realm of alternative energy sources.
