Advent Technologies Secures $1.1 Million Contract to Supply its HT-PEM MEAs for Fuel Cell-Powered Trucks in Asia
May 11 2023 - 9:16AM
Business Wire
Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN) ("Advent "or
the "Company"), an innovation-driven leader in the fuel cell and
hydrogen technology sectors, is pleased to announce a new contract
with a prominent fuel cell manufacturer specializing in truck
applications in the East Asian market. Under this contract, Advent
will supply High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane ("HT-PEM")
Membrane Electrode Assemblies ("MEAs") to support the development
of advanced fuel cell solutions for trucks.
The contract, signed in the second quarter of 2023 with a
combined value of $1.1 Million, comes after a highly successful
testing phase of Advent’s proprietary MEA technology conducted by
its customer. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, Advent will
begin delivering HT-PEM MEAs, with a projected continuation of
deliveries in accordance with the customer's specified
timeframe.
The use of Advent's MEA technology in fuel cell-powered trucks
is a critical and substantial enhancement to EV technology,
effectively tackling the challenges associated with charging
infrastructure and the limited range of pure EVs.
MEAs are the critical component of fuel cell systems and have a
pivotal role in determining the overall performance, durability,
efficiency, weight, and cost-effectiveness of the electrochemical
products they empower.
Advent's MEAs are designed to operate at high temperatures
ranging from 120 °C to 180 °C, and offer a significant advantage to
alternative solutions. For example, they enable the utilization of
impure hydrogen, which can be generated onboard through the
reforming of methanol, eMethanol, natural gas, and various other
renewable eFuels.
Advent's electrochemistry components business includes
electrodes, membranes, and MEAs. These components are critical for
fuel cells, electrolyzers, and long-duration energy storage such as
flow batteries.
Advent's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou,
commented, "The global heavy-duty automotive industry has made it
clear that they intend to transition to HT-PEM fuel cell
technology. Advent is committed to play a significant role in
facilitating this transition, and we are excited to continue
expanding customer relationships across Asia. Our MEA technology is
highly suitable for heavy-duty mobility applications and
well-suited to meet the changing demands of the industry. We look
forward to further contributing to a sustainable future for
heavy-duty transportation applications through the adoption of
HT-PEM fuel cell technology."
