Advent manufactures HT-PEM fuel cells that convert hydrogen and other renewable fuels into electricity.
Founded: 2018, Patras, Greece.
Headquarters located in: Boston, Massachusetts
Advent has created highly efficient fuel cells that operate in extreme temperatures, humidity, and air quality. More importantly, Advent’s fuel cells are multi-fuel capable (hydrogen, e-methanol, e-fuels, natural gas), which means they work with hydrogen as it comes in many different forms, eliminating the need for complex hydrogen infrastructure.
Currently over 190 granted, licensed, or pending patents.
Over 100 patents have been granted for Advent’s fuel cell technology, and it owns the IP rights for next-generation HT-PEM, which allows different fuels to operate at high temperatures and in extreme conditions – providing a flexible “Any Fuel. Anywhere.” option for the automotive, aviation, defense, oil and gas, marine, and power generation sectors.
Products:
Fuel cells: Specifically HT-PEM fuel cells that use hydrogen, renewable fuels (eFuels, e-methanol), DME (dimethyl ether), biofuels, methanol, ethanol, ammonia, natural gas, and other liquid or gaseous hydrogen carriers to produce electricity and heat. When methanol is used, the fuel cell is called a reformed methanol fuel cell.
Fuel cell MEAs: Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA), which is a crucial electrochemical element of a fuel cell. MEAs largely determine the fuel cell’s power, efficiency, lifetime, weight, size, overall performance, and ultimately the price of the fuel cell.
Flow battery membranes: membranes and custom electrodes for redox flow batteries.
Organic photovoltaics: The company also offers electron-donating conjugated polymers for organic solar cells.
Electrolysis membranes: licensed and developing technology that can be used in high-temperature steam electrolysis (for hydrogen production from renewable energy sources).
