armed conflicts and increasingly frequent natural disasters related to
the ongoing climate change has increased interest in alternative
sources of electricity. This research aimed to compare different
concentrations/types of ethanol in the process of converting chemical
energy into electric current using fuel cells. It was found that fuel
cells can be used as an emergency energy source. The highest
efficiency was obtained with the use of low concentrations of alcohol,
between 5 and 10 %. The highest cell power was obtained using
denatured alcohol (168.9 mW).
