Safran Power Units has placed new orders for Advent’s proprietary Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs).
Advent’s proprietary high temperature proton exchange membrane technology is used in the MEAs (HT-PEM). Advent’s MEAs were first delivered in the first quarter of 2022, and deliveries are expected to continue into the second quarter. The MEAs will aid Safran Power Units’ research and development efforts.
MEAs are the heart of the fuel cell, and their performance determines the end electrochemistry products’ lifetime, efficiency, weight, and, to a large extent, cost. Advent’s MEAs can work with impure hydrogen, which can be reformed on-board from methanol, natural gas, and other renewable fuels, due to their high operating temperatures of 120 °C to 200 °C.
