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. However, these technologies use toxic, PFSA-based membranes which have caused serious ill effects on human health and the environment.
Health Costs of PFAS
In fact, the overall health cost due to PFAS usage is estimated to be between €52 and €84 billion per year. As a result of this, the EU is placing restrictions to ban the substances, with initial bans already commencing.
Industry Response
This has resulted in major companies such as 3M announcing plans to stop all production of PFAS-based materials by 2025, a decision worth 2 billion USD annually.
Cellfion's Innovation
To overcome these challenges, Cellfion has developed a bio-based, ion-selective membrane derived from natural cellulose, the first of its kind. This innovation is:
- 27 times more cost-effective compared to the competing solution
- Provides the potential for increased performance
