ADVANCED ALKALINE MEMBRANE H2/AIR FUEL CELL SYSTEM WITH NOVEL TECHNIQUE FOR AIR CO2 REMOVAL
The University of Delaware is building an electrochemical “pump” (ECP), based on a special membrane, to remove cell-damaging CO2 from ambient air before feeding it along with hydrogen into an HEMFC designed by the team. This method eliminates the need for vehicles using HEMFCs to carry an onboard oxygen supply or scrub carbon dioxide by other more expensive routes. HYDROLITE are manufacturing the high-performance, low-cost fuel cell stack that will further oversee the integration of the University of Delaware’s novel CO2 filtration device into the power system, to demonstrate the advanced filtration technology, as well as to showcase HYDROLITE’s state-of-the-art AEM fuel cell system.
