GLOBAL MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY MARKET INTRODUCTION A proton-exchange membrane (PEM) or an alkali anion exchange membrane (AAEM), a catalyst, […]
A proton-exchange membrane (PEM) or an alkali anion exchange membrane (AAEM), a catalyst, and a flat plate electrode are joined into a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which is used in fuel cells and electrolyzers.
For the chemical reactions taking place inside a fuel cell to transform the fuel into useful electrical power, the membrane electrode assembly offers sites. A gas diffusion layer, a 5-layer membrane, and three 3-layer membranes, gaskets, or sealing elements are included in the assembly.
The global membrane electrode assembly market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
A recent partnership between Advent Technologies Holdings Inc. and BASF New Business GmbH intends to promote the development of innovative fuel cell membranes created for long-term use in challenging environments.
In order to enable even better and more competitive innovative fuel cell systems and membrane electrode assembly, BASF plans to boost production capacity with advanced technical capabilities and improve the long-term durability of its celtec membrane (MEA).
The two businesses will use Advent’s fuel cell stack and system testing facilities to evaluate and qualify the new celtec membrane for the SereneU (telecom power), M-ZERO, (methane emissions reduction), and Honey Badger fuel cell systems (portable power, defense).
Additionally, BASF provides materials for power generation, hydrogen production, and power storage to facilitate the implementation of the massive Important Projects of Common European Interests (IPCEIs) White Dragon and Green HiPo (pending EU approval).
Development of Manufactured Assembly Technology for Electrochemical Hydrogen Compression by NREL and HyET Hydrogen. HyET’s electrochemical hydrogen compression operates at high pressure, necessitating the use of premium membrane electrode assemblies (MEA), preferably created through efficient, high-capacity production.
In order to manufacture MEAs, HyET is working with NREL to establish procedures and quality-control techniques. Together, NREL and HyET Hydrogen will create inks, coatings, real-time inspection procedures, and MEAs for electrochemical hydrogen compression that are appropriate for high-volume electrode manufacture.
The scale-up to high-volume manufacture of membranes, electrodes, and MEAs for fuel cells and electrochemical generation will be supported by the project thanks to NREL’s expertise and capabilities.
A leading supplier of direct methanol and hydrogen fuel cells for stationary and mobile hybrid power systems, SFC Energy AG (F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578) expands its network of reliable business partners.
A cooperative development and supply agreement has been inked by the inventor of the fuel cell and Johnson Matthey, a global leader in sustainable technologies with its headquarters in London (UK). The development of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), or stack—the fuel cell’s beating heart—is at the centre of the collaboration.
Ballard Power Systems recently unveiled its “local for local” strategy, under which it intends to expand its global manufacturing footprint in China, Europe, and the US to meet rising global demand.
In line with this strategy, Ballard has signed an investment agreement with the Government of Anting in Shanghai’s Jiading District to locate its new China headquarters, membrane electrode assembly (MEA) manufacturing facility, and R&D centre at a prime location at the Jiading Hydrogen Port, which is situated in one of China’s top automotive industry clusters.
Ballard intends to invest roughly $130 million over the following three years, which will allow the new MEA production facility to produce about 13 million MEAs annually, which will supply about 20,000 engines. Ballard anticipates being able to significantly expand this facility’s capacity in subsequent phases with much lower capital expenditures.
In order to support the production and sale of Ballard engines in China’s stationary, rail, marine, off-road, and export markets, the facility will also include space for 600 engines to be assembled annually.
The Nikola Motor Company has received funding from the US Department of Energy to advance its study of fuel cell membrane electrode assembly (MEA).
The highly skilled Nikola team will have the chance to use academic knowledge and the DOE Fuel Cell Consortium for Performance and Durability’s exceptional resources to accelerate a development that will help the entire hydrogen and fuel cell community.
Under the recently released Commercial Trucks and Off-Road Applications FOA, the joint grant was funded by the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Transportation Office of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Together with its academic partners, Nikola is pursuing a novel strategy and distinctive MEA architecture to meet the high-power output and durability requirements of heavy-duty applications. By utilising suitable, scalable fabrication techniques, Nikola will combine cutting-edge concepts in catalysts, ionomers, proton exchange membranes, and gas diffusion layers within a reliable MEA in this project.
The goal of Gore is to create effective, long-lasting, and useful solutions that reduce total cost of ownership. Proton Exchange Membranes (PEM) and Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA), two of Gore’s market-leading proprietary products, enable widespread commercialization of hydrogen fuel cells across a range of important industrial market segments, from stationary power generation to international long-haul transportation.
