PEMEAS is a leading supplier of key components and subsystems to the emerging fuel cell industry. PEMEAS has been incorporated during April 2004 through a Venture Capital backed spin-off and continues the fuel cell business of Hoechst Chemical Group initiated in 1994. For serving its global customer base PEMEAS is operating two divisions. The Celtec division of PEMEAS is focusing on the development and commercialization of high temperature membranes and MEAs enabling PEM fuel cells to be operated at an elevated temperature of approximately 180 C. The use of Celtec MEAs in PEM fuel cells results in a simplified and much more dependable fuel cell system. Through its Celtec Division PEMEAS is the only commercial supplier of high temperature MEAs.

The Technologies incorporate switched reluctance (“SR”) electric motor technology and are classed as a ‘micro-hybrids’ (using electrical systems to increase fuel efficiency). SR motors are used because they are highly controllable, more robust, cheap to manufacture and have higher power density and efficiency than permanent magnet motors. The CO2–reducing benefits of the Technologies are additive rather than substitutional. Together, the Technologies offer synergy benefits and the possibility of further integration.
