Fuel Cell – Advent Technologies Approved for €2,16 Million “RESCUE” Project
ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (NASDAQ: ADN) Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advent Technologies, SA is pleased to announce the launch of the RESCUE project, a strategic initiative funded under the HORIZON-JTI-CLEANH2-2024-04-01 call for “Portable Fuel Cells for Backup Power During Natural Disasters to Support Critical Infrastructures.” The four year project has a total budget of €5 million, and a funding rate of 70%. Advent’s approved budget for the initiative is €2.16 million.
RESCUE aims to develop a certified, portable 50 kW power generator system designed to deliver reliable, sustainable backup power in critical situations based on HT-PEM technology. This collaborative effort brings together world-class partners, led by DLR (Germany) as the project coordinator, with participation from Advent Technologies (Greece), CERTH (Greece), THW (Germany), DTU (Denmark), and ProACT (Greece).
Advent Technologies will play a pivotal role in the project as the primary technology provider, focusing on system integration and innovation. The key deliverable is a 50 kW High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (HT-PEM FC) dual-fuel portable power generator system. This system will consist of a generator module and a fuel tank, each housed in separate 20-foot containers for optimal mobility and deployment.
