SubsidieMeestersDevelopment and manufacturing of forest-based membranes for electrochemical energy devices
Cellfion aims to revolutionize renewable energy technologies by introducing a cost-effective, bio-based ion-selective membrane from natural cellulose, replacing toxic PFSA membranes.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Emerging technologies such as Proton Exchange Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) and Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) are expected to contribute to society’s transition towards renewable energy.
Health and Environmental Concerns
However, these technologies use toxic, PFSA-based membranes which have caused serious ill effects on human health and the environment. In fact, the overall health cost due to PFAS usage is estimated to be between €52 and €84 billion per year.
Regulatory Actions
As a result of this, the EU is placing restrictions to ban the substances, with initial bans already commencing. This has led to major companies such as 3M announcing plans to stop all production of PFAS-based materials by 2025, a decision worth 2 billion USD annually.
Innovative Solution
To overcome these challenges, Cellfion has developed a bio-based, ion-selective membrane derived from natural cellulose, the first of its kind.
Advantages of the Innovation
This innovation is:
- 27 times more cost-effective compared to the competing solution
- Provides the potential for increased performance
