A a unified common fueling system is required in order to reap the benefits of reduced logistics and increased energy density promised by MFC’s. In this project, and working with Protonex, Smart Fuel Cell and IdaTech, we propose to create a Compact, Lightweight Intelligent Cartridge for Interoperable fuel Transport, the CliC-it. The CliC-it will be made available to any Military MFC manufacturer by the CliC-it team. All hardware will be designed to meet IATA and Mil Std specifications.

CERDEC’s target for this project is to develop a refueling platform for methanol fuel cells with a common family of valves and cartridges plus a target goal of a single fuel. UltraCell successfully partnered with the leading methanol fuel cell manufacturers (UltraCell, Smart Fuel Cell, and Protonex) to meet these requirements with the CliC-it concept. This project will further the development of the suite of hardware and also result in Methanol/Water specification for interoperable use.
