Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. has expanded its Joint Development Agreement with Airbus to advance HT-PEM fuel cell technology for hydrogen-electric aviation. The collaboration supports Airbus' ZEROe vision, targeting hydrogen aircraft by the mid-2030s.

Advent's Ion Pair™ MEA, effective above 180°C, reduces system weight and drag, enhancing range and passenger capacity. Both companies are conducting durability tests and preparing for full stack trials to validate performance under flight-like conditions.

The technology's potential extends beyond aviation to applications in off-grid power, transport, and marine vessels. With R&D locations in California and Greece, the partnership aims to boost clean-tech production and create jobs, reinforcing a commitment to decarbonization in line with global climate objectives.
