ZeroAvia and PowerCell Group have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on next-generation fuel cell technologies for the aviation industry. The joint research and development efforts will concentrate on intermediate and high-temperature fuel cells, enabling applications in energy-intensive aircraft like large fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft. ZeroAvia plans to utilize PowerCell's low-temperature proton exchange membrane (LT-PEM) stacks in its bespoke multi-stack balance-of-plant architecture for aviation purposes. Additionally, ZeroAvia is working on high-temperature PEM fuel cell (HT-PEM) stacks for larger aircraft, demonstrating high power density and efficiency. The partnership aims to leverage PowerCell's expertise in industrializing hydrogen-electric technologies to advance fuel cell solutions to high technology readiness levels. ZeroAvia's CEO, Val Miftakhov, and PowerCell Group's CEO, Richard Berkling, express optimism about the future of hydrogen-electric aircraft, predicting commercial flights in the coming years. ZeroAvia has already conducted extensive testing of its prototypes and submitted certification applications, demonstrating progress in the development of cleaner flight technologies. The collaboration between ZeroAvia and PowerCell Group signifies a commitment to advancing sustainable aviation solutions while exploring opportunities for technology transfer to other sectors. Both companies emphasize the environmental and operational benefits of hydrogen-electric aircraft, anticipating a shift towards cleaner and more efficient aviation practices in the future.
