This collaborative effort is focused on developing PFAS-free materials to improve fuel cells and electrolysers, key technologies for clean energy production. As part of the PROMISERS consortium, Cellfion will contribute its expertise in the development of PFAS-free membranes and ionomers.
The project brings together leading industry players and research organizations, including Syensqo, Fumatech, Industrie De Nora, RINA Consulting, Hysytech, TNO, IIT and Leitat (Coordinator). The goal of the consortium is to develop not only membranes but also electrode inks that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly, driving forward the clean energy transition.
“The project demonstrates the importance of PFAS-free membranes within the future hydrogen economy and highlights the increasing need for funding to support critical technologies to accelerate development and market deployment as the industry grows,” said Liam Hardey, CEO of Cellfion. “Having previously secured €2.5 million in EU funding through the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator where Cellfion was one of only 42 companies selected from 1,083 applicants this achievement reinforces the EU’s commitment to advancing PFAS-free technologies”.
In addition to its involvement in PROMISERS, Cellfion recently relocated its offices and labs to a new 800 m² facility in central Stockholm. The relocation gives the company the space and resources to establish its first roll-to-roll demonstrator line capable of supplying industrial-grade membranes, something which the company is actively searching finance for during 2025. The industrial demonstrator will have the flexibility to supply critical sectors such as hydrogen and energy storage. It also gives the company the capability to enhance its R&D efforts and foster organizational growth.
