Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. has signed a joint development agreement with the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Under this agreement, Advent’s team of scientists will work closely with LANL, BNL, and NREL over the coming years in order to develop breakthrough materials that will help strengthen US manufacturing in the fuel cells sector and bring high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells to the market.

This project will also contribute to the acceleration of energy and transportation technologies that will enable a clean, zero-emissions energy future. 

The effort encompasses scaling up the critical components of this next-generation membrane assembly: BNL catalysts, LANL membrane, electrode binder, and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) architecture. Advent’s scientists and engineers will work side by side with the primary inventors to facilitate rapid process development.
