Overview

Hydrogen fuel cell technology addresses the challenges OEMs across the automotive and heavy-duty transportation sectors face as they transition to more sustainable and efficient clean energy sources. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology has been increasingly used in passenger vehicles due to its high-power density, durability, and efficiency.

With a 50% decline in total cost of ownership (TCO) forecast over the next decade for fuel cell electric vehicles, PEM will play a pivotal role in the transition to clean transportation.

For heavy-duty vehicles (HDV), fuel cell membranes address the increasing demands for higher power output, extended operation lifecycle, and smaller systems while approaching cost parity with diesel. With the right PEM fuel cell membrane manufacturer, OEMs can minimize trade-offs in achieving minimal TCO.

PEM fuel cell membranes help OEMs lower total cost of ownership in the long-term.

Features & Benefits

PEM fuel cell design can have a significant impact on overall system costs. Designs must consider both the upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) over the vehicle lifetime. Our reinforced, thinner GORE-SELECT® Membrane PEM reduces the trade-off between power density, durability, and gas crossover.

Minimizing Trade-Offs While Reducing TCO

Key Advantages

With the unique thinner, ePTFE-reinforced design of GORE-SELECT® Membrane PEM, manufacturers can be confident their requirements for performance, reliability, and cost are met with minimal compromises.

Key Advantages - GORE-SELECT® Membrane PEM
REDUCE OVERALL STACK COSTS
Reduce Overall Stack Costs

GORE-SELECT® Membranes offer lower proton resistance (high proton conductivity) to help reduce overall upfront and operational stack costs.

IMPROVE FUEL EFFICIENCY
Improve Fuel Efficiency

Lower proton resistance (high proton conductivity) enables fuel cell stacks to operate at higher voltage and deliver the same power output. This can result in improved fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.

MITIGATE MECHANICAL DEGRADATION AND CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION
Mitigate Mechanical Degradation And Chemical Contamination

Even in extreme operating conditions, our strong, long-lasting PEM ensures high mechanical and chemical durability resulting in long-term reliability that contributes to lower overall costs and TCO.

Applications

Fuel cells’ higher energy density offers greatest value to applications that are of higher weight and require higher power and greater range, such as commercial vehicles and diesel replacement applications.
