Their product offerings include fuel cell stacks designed for system integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), featuring proprietary membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) that ensure high durability and scalable power output. Additionally, Advent develops complete fuel cell systems such as the Serene and Honey Badger, which cater to backup power and portable applications respectively. The company also focuses on electrolyzers at megawatt (MW) scale, enhancing power density and lifespan while supporting renewable energy integration and grid stabilization (source: dcfmodeling.com).
Projects & Track Record
Advent Technologies has successfully completed over 38 EU- and nationally sponsored projects in Greece, securing more than €12 million in funding to advance the development of fuel cell materials and components. Notably, the Green HiPo IPCEI project, based in Kozani, aims to manufacture HT-PEM fuel cells and electrolyzers, backed by a €60 million budget that includes a €24 million grant from Greece's Just Transition Fund. This initiative is crucial for the region's transition from coal to green energy and aligns with Europe's ambitious renewable hydrogen targets. Furthermore, the RHyno project, which commenced in April 2025, focuses on establishing MW-scale manufacturing capabilities in Greece, supported by a €34.5 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund (source: ir.advent.energy).
