Renowned as a leading company in the fields of filtration and thermal management, UFI Filters, presented its technological innovations for the hydrogen sector at Automechanika

UFI Hydrogen is a company driving forward the green revolution with innovative solutions designed to decarbonise the economy. It focuses on the development of Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) with Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCMs). These MEAs enable efficient production of green hydrogen and its conversion into electricity, which can be used in various applications beyond fuel cells, including power generation, industrial processes and even domestic energy supply.

UFI MEAs adhering to UFI Filters' high quality standards, represent a significant leap towards the cost- effective production of green hydrogen and hydrogen-based energy solutions. 

UFI HYDROGEN is participating in the European Hy2Move project, within the framework of the IPCEI (‘Important Projects of Common European Interest’) programme in cooperation with several European industrial groups, including Airbus, Michelin, BMW and HDF Energies.

“The development of cutting-edge technologies for the production and implementation of green hydrogen will be one of the main drivers that will allow us to accelerate the process of decarbonisation of the economy,” says Giorgio Girondi, President of UFI FILTERS GROUP and UFI HYDROGEN. “Thanks to our products and know-how, UFI HYDROGEN will contribute to the reduction of dependence on fossil fuels and create new jobs and business opportunities in Trentino.”

At a presentation at Automechanika, UFI also demonstrated how it was well place to supply parts for hydrogen powered internal combustion engines, with new and adapted technologies which can make such power sources highly viable for vehicles of the future. These include items such as; Crankcase Ventilation and Blow-By gas filtration, hydrogen filtration, oil filtration and heat exchangers. 

For hydrogen fuel cell applications UFI can also offer, heat exchangers, cathode air filtration, coolant deionisers, and Membrane Electrode Assemblies.
