HYCCO’s Bipolar Plates is a new generation of bipolar plates made of composite materials for fuel cells
Hydrogen is now known to be an important part of the energy transition. But the fuel cell’s short life is one of the technological barriers that makes it hard for hydrogen mobility to spread quickly. HYCCO comes up with and makes a new and important part for hydrogen technologies. It is a big step forward for the green hydrogen ecosystem, making it reliable for heavy transportation and many other uses. The solution is a fuel cell bipolar plate made of carbon that is very light, strong, and small. It’s a big improvement because this part is 70% of the weight but only costs 30% of the price. It can also be used for electrolysers, which use (green) electricity to make hydrogen, and REDOX flow batteries, which are a promising energy storage system with a low impact on the environment.
