Celtec-MEA

Membrane electrode assemblies for high temperature polymer electrolyt membrane (PEM) fuel cells

The Celtec-P MEA operates at temperatures between 120 and 180 °C, tolerating large concentrations of carbon monoxide and sulfur, and being able to run independently of humidification. This technology allows fuel cell systems to be simpler, robust and more cost effective. Due to customer statements, the number of components in a system can be reduced by one third, resulting in reduced costs, improved reliability and smaller volume. BASF Fuel Cell develops the Celtec-MEA for 15 years, has a superior patent and technology position in high temperature PEM materials.
