ZeroAvia could increase the range of the Donier 228 by 75% if it replaced the liquid hydrogen fuel with methanol. Methanol can store more hydrogen than liquid hydrogen can per volume. And reformed methanol fuel cells are already in existence.
Methanol would also be much safer than liquid hydrogen and easier to store and quicker to refuel the aircraft.
Carbon neutral methanol can be produced from urban sewage, agricultural animal waste, the pyrolysis of urban garbage, the pyrolysis of agricultural crop waste, the pyrolysis of dead trees from the forest and fire hazardous foliage.
Carbon neutral methanol can also be produced from electricity from nuclear and solar energy directly from the atmosphere.
"We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. " John F. Kennedy
"The knowledge that we have now is but a fraction of the knowledge we must get, whether for peaceful use or for national defense. We must depend on intensive research to acquire the further knowledge we need ... These are truths that every scientist knows. They are truths that the American people need to understand." (Harry S. Truman 1948).
"The greatest long-term threat to U.S. national security is not terrorists wielding a nuclear or biological weapon, but the erosion of America's place as a world leader in science and technology."
Gordon England: 1st Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and former Secretary of the Navy
