Superprotonic

Precision Energy and Technology (PET) is excited to announce they have signed an agreement with Superprotonic in Pasadena, California, to develop a manufacturing process for Solid Acid Fuel Cells (SAFC). Dr. Calum Chisholm and Dr. Dane Boysen, co-founders of Superprotonic, developed the solid acid fuel cell while at CalTech. With substantial financial backing, Superprotonic is now excited about moving this technology into the marketplace.

Thomas Willis, President of Precision Energy and Technology, says “PET believes that this technology holds great opportunity to resolve fuel cell issues with Solid Oxide fuel cells and PEM fuel cells. Since it operates at 235° Celsius, Solid Acid Fuel Cells have the advantage of operating at higher temperatures that minimize catalyst costs, and avoids water management, but not so high as to cause material cost problems”.

Precision Energy and Technology (PET) is a Fuel Cell technology company on the leading edge of manufacturing development for fuel cells. The Dayton Ohio company is headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio at the Mound Advanced Technology Center. The manufacturing facilities are located nearby in Kettering Ohio. For a wide variety of customers, PET manufactures high volume MEAs, electrodes, bipolar plates and fuel cell equipment for PEM, phosphoric acid and solid oxide fuel cell types. For fuel cell companies that are looking to transition from R&D to production, PET also provides manufacturing process technology. They can develop process equipment or provide manufacturing process consulting for companies preparing to begin full production.
