This Hawai‘i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) project has received over $1 million in funding under several federal government awards. Bio-fuel cells (BFCs) are fuel cells that use enzymatic or microbial biocatalysts to convert chemical energy directly into electricity as a power source. BFC technology has been advanced through a variety of characterization techniques, test cells, and modeling capabilities.
The primary HNEI contacts for the project are Michael J. Cooney [1] and Bor Yann Liaw [2]. For details about this project, see the Bio-Fuel Cells Project [3] pdf document. For additional information on HNEI researchers and related HNEI research activities, see the Biomass [4], Bio-Renewable Resources [5], Biotechnology [6], and Fuel Cells [7] research sections of our website.
