Advent Technologies Enters into License and Joint Development Agreement with EH Group Engineering AG to Advance HTPEM Fuel Cell Technology for Stationary Power Applications
LIVERMORE, Calif., April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“Advent” or the “Company”), an innovation driven leader in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology space, has entered into a license and joint development agreement with EH Group Engineering AG (“EH Group”), a Switzerland-based innovator in high-performance fuel cell technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, EH Group has granted Advent a field-specific license to its high temperature proton exchange membrane (“HTPEM”) fuel cell stack and systems technology. The collaboration will focus on integrating Advent’s proprietary membrane technology with EH Group’s HTPEM stack architecture.
The two companies will collaborate on the joint development of advanced HTPEM fuel cell solutions, with a specific focus on stationary power applications. These applications include backup power for data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, and microgrid installations where resilience and energy security are critical.
Emory DeCastro, Chief Technology Officer of Advent Technologies, said:
Partnering with EH Group marks an important step forward in expanding Advent’s HTPEM technology portfolio and accelerating innovation in the stationary power market,
“By combining our expertise in membrane chemistry with EH’s stack engineering, we are well-positioned to deliver high-performance fuel cell solutions that meet the growing demand for reliable and sustainable energy.”
Mardit Matian, Founder of EH Group Engineering, said:
We are pleased to collaborate with Advent on advancing HTPEM fuel cell technology,
“This agreement enables us to leverage EH Group’s proprietary stack manufacturing and system engineering to jointly develop solutions that address critical energy challenges in distributed power applications.”
A key objective of the partnership is to leverage the multifuel capabilities of HTPEM technology. The joint development efforts will focus on optimizing system performance, durability, and scalability, with the goal of delivering commercially viable solutions to meet increasing global demand for clean and resilient power infrastructure.
Advent and EH Group share a common vision that HTPEM fuel cell technology represents a highly efficient and flexible solution for off-grid and distributed energy needs. The collaboration will focus on leveraging the strengths of both organizations to accelerate the commercialization of next-generation fuel cell systems. The companies believe that HTPEM fuel cells are well-suited to provide reliable, clean, and efficient power for a wide range of stationary applications, including behind-the-meter and backup power for data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, and remote or off-grid installations where resilience and energy security are critical.
