Project description
The next generation of fuel cells for the transport sector is coming around the bend
Fuel cells are promising energy-conversion devices that convert the chemical energy in hydrogen gas or another fuel into electricity without combustion. They could make a significant contribution to our transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner and more sustainable energy forms. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are one type of particular interest for both stationary and mobile applications. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is the workhorse of PEMFCs. The ambitious EU-funded GAIA project will enable significant enhancements to the MEA that will lead to reduced costs, increased power density, and greater durability while accommodating higher operating temperatures.
