Fuel-cell venture set

March 13, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 11

Umicore and Solvay are joining forces to research, develop, and produce membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) and related compounds used in fuel cells. The 50-50 joint venture, named SolviCore, will be based at Umicore's Hanau, Germany, R&D site and will combine Umicore's expertise in precious-metal catalysts with Solvay's expertise in polymer membranes. The core of a fuel cell, an MEA incorporates a membrane that separates electrode-catalyst anodes and cathodes to allow for the transformation of fuel into electricity.
