The goal of the two projects as submitted by Advent and the White Dragon consortium of companies is to replace Greece’s largest coal-fired power plants with renewable solar energy parks, which will be supported by CO 2-free hydrogen production (4.65GW), and fuel cell heat and power production (400MW).

Furthermore, BASF supports the realization of large-scale Important Projects of Common European Interests (IPCEIs) White Dragon and Green HiPo (pending EU approval), through materials for power generation, hydrogen generation, and power storage. Under the agreement the two companies will explore the implementation of high-volume manufacturing for the Celtec membranes, utilize Advent’s fuel cell stack and system testing facilities to assess and qualify the new Celtec membrane for the SereneU (telecom power), M-ZERO, (methane emissions reduction), and Honey Badger (portable power, defense) Advent product families. BASF intends to improve the long-term stability of its Celtec membrane and to increase production capacity with advanced technical capabilities to enable further improved and competitive Advent fuel cell systems and membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The agreement aims to develop and increase the manufacturing scale of advanced fuel cell membranes designed for long-term operations under extreme conditions.

and BASF New Business GmbH recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
