\n

Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc., an innovation-driven leader in the fuel <\/p>\n

cell and hydrogen technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it will <\/p>\n

collaborate with Alfa Laval, a global provider of heat transfer, separation, and <\/p>\n

fluid handling products, on a project to explore applications of Advent\u2019s <\/p>\n

methanol-powered high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells <\/p>\n

in the marine industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"ADVENT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Funded by the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration <\/p>\n

Program (\u201cEUDP\u201d), the project is a joint effort between Advent, Alfa Laval and a <\/p>\n

group of Danish shipowners. The project will focus on testing Advent\u2019s <\/p>\n

methanol-powered HT-PEM fuel cells as a source of marine auxiliary power. During <\/p>\n

the course of the project, the fuel cell system will undergo a risk assessment <\/p>\n

by a leading international classification society.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the same time, the project aims to integrate the next generation of <\/p>\n

Advent\u2019s fuel cells. These fuel cells will be based on Advent\u2019s next-generation <\/p>\n

membrane electrode assembly, which is currently being developed within the <\/p>\n

framework of L\u2019Innovator, the Company\u2019s joint development program with the U.S. <\/p>\n

Department of Energy\u2019s Los Alamos National Laboratory, Brookhaven National <\/p>\n

Laboratory, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Aiming to meet the <\/p>\n

ever-growing power requirements of the maritime industry, Advent\u2019s <\/p>\n

next-generation fuel cells are expected to demonstrate a significant increase in <\/p>\n

lifetime, efficiency, and electrical output.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Advent\u2019s technology enables its fuel cells to operate at high temperatures <\/p>\n

of between 160\u00b0C and 220\u00b0C and serve as a reliable source of on-demand power <\/p>\n

across various applications and industries, including shipping, power generation <\/p>\n

and heavy-duty mobility. The Company\u2019s HT-PEM technology can utilize low-cost <\/p>\n

and abundant hydrogen-carrier fuels, like methanol, e-methanol and biomethanol. <\/p>\n

Methanol in particular has attracted substantial interest as a future fuel for <\/p>\n

the marine industry, and Advent\u2019s HT-PEM fuel cells operate perfectly on <\/p>\n

methanol, using an integrated reformer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent Technologies\u2019 Chairman and Chief Executive <\/p>\n

Officer, commented: \u201cThe Advent team is dedicated to accelerating the <\/p>\n

decarbonization of the shipping industry. Our Serene fuel cells run on methanol <\/p>\n

\u2013 a clean alternative to fossil fuels \u2013 which is safer to handle than hydrogen <\/p>\n

gas and can be easily deployed on-site. Over the past months, we have received <\/p>\n

significant interest from the marine industry for our methanol-powered fuel <\/p>\n

cells. This gives us optimism about the future and our contribution to the <\/p>\n

industry\u2019s goal of net zero by 2050. We look forward to the successful <\/p>\n

completion of this highly innovative EUDP-funded project and further progressing <\/p>\n

our collaboration with Alfa Laval.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jeroen van Riel, Alfa Laval\u2019s Business Development Manager for Marine <\/p>\n

Energy Solutions, stated: \u201cWe are excited to see the result of this promising <\/p>\n

collaboration with Advent, an experienced partner with innovative fuel cell <\/p>\n

products deployed in the field today. We are convinced that HT-PEM technology <\/p>\n

has great maritime potential and look forward to further exploring Advent\u2019s <\/p>\n

differentiated technology as the marine industry moves towards <\/p>\n

decarbonization.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Morten Hougaard S\u00f8rensen, Advent Technologies\u2019 Senior Vice President added: <\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to thank Alfa Laval for their commitment to partnering with our <\/p>\n

extensive expertise and proprietary technology to drive a maritime fuel cell <\/p>\n

solution. The Advent team envisions methanol, biomethanol, and e-methanol as the <\/p>\n

fuels of the future in shipping. We are delighted that Alfa Laval endorses this <\/p>\n

view. We hope this project is the dawn of a long and productive collaboration <\/p>\n

that will enable a faster transition to a clean energy shipping sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
