Without a doubt, hydrogen is critical to our clean energy future, and as a major downstream application of hydrogen, fuel cell technology is gaining maturity by the day. So much so that at W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore), hydrogen drives our global vision of a low-carbon, sustainable energy system. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the transportation sector, a key player in the adoption of hydrogen as an energy source.
Instrumental to realizing this future potential is the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack, this utilizes a membrane technology that with the right expertise can accelerate the commercialization of FCEVs by dramatically improving the performance and reliability of fuel cell stacks and systems.
Currently, there are two technologies that can reduce the carbon footprint of…
