HYCCO Develops Carbon Fiber Bipolar Plates for the Next Generation of Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Hycco (France)

HYCCO has developed a new concept of bipolar plates, a key component of hydrogen fuel cells, which represents 75% of their weight for 30% of their cost. The materials used simultaneously increase the lifetime of the fuel cells (x4) and reduce their weight (-50% to -90%), without compromising their compactness. With a prototype production line in place, HYCCO' aims to deploy a pilot production line of carbon fiber bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells by 2024.
