ElringKlinger ha firmado un acuerdo con Airbus sobre una asociaci\u00f3n a largo plazo en el campo de la tecnolog\u00eda de pilas de combustible. Para ello, el proveedor y el grupo aeron\u00e1utico tienen la intenci\u00f3n de crear una empresa conjunta.<\/p>\n
Tras la entrega de pilas y de un banco de pruebas dise\u00f1ado individualmente en verano, el acuerdo alcanzado ahora incluye la creaci\u00f3n de una nueva empresa conjunta que desarrollar\u00e1 y validar\u00e1 inicialmente pilas de combustible compatibles con la aviaci\u00f3n en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os. As\u00ed lo ha anunciado ElringKlinger.<\/p>\n
El proveedor alem\u00e1n tendr\u00e1 una participaci\u00f3n minoritaria, mientras que Airbus poseer\u00e1 la mayor\u00eda de las acciones de la nueva empresa. ElringKlinger proporcionar\u00e1 a la nueva empresa acceso a la tecnolog\u00eda y suministrar\u00e1 los componentes necesarios para el desarrollo. La empresa recibir\u00e1 \"una compensaci\u00f3n de entre dos y cuatro millones de euros\" por el cierre, previsto para finales de 2020, seg\u00fan el anuncio. Los detalles al respecto se facilitar\u00e1n en el Informe Anual 2020 de ElringKlinger AG.<\/p>\n
En el periodo previo al acuerdo, Airbus hab\u00eda realizado un amplio an\u00e1lisis dentro del mercado de pilas de combustible. En el marco de este proceso de selecci\u00f3n internacional, ElringKlinger pudo convencer a su socio contractual: \"La alta densidad de potencia de sus stacks y su amplia experiencia en materia de procesos de industrializaci\u00f3n demostraron ser factores diferenciadores clave.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

“The fact that Airbus opted in favour of ElringKlinger as a technology partner points to the performance capabilities of our fuel cell technology,” says CEO Stefan Wolf. “In the aviation industry, in particular, the power density of stacks is of primary importance. At the same time, other high-tech performance criteria such as service life or operational parameters such as operating temperature or operating humidity must be met in an aviation-specific manner.”<\/p>\n
According to the company, the core of the high power density of the ElringKlinger stack is the use of metallic bipolar plates as well as specially designed membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) sealing solutions. According to ElringKlinger, the company has been researching fuel cells for around 20 years and has since then acted both as a system and component supplier. CEO Wolf attests to the “great market potential” of this technology within the aviation industry, as a pure battery drive system quickly reaches its limits in certain applications.<\/p>\n
Airbus is relying on hydrogen as a key technology to develop zero-emission aircraft for the commercial market by 2035. To this end, Airbus is testing and researching a wide range of configurations and technology variants for the use of hydrogen, including in conjunction with the use of fuel cells to generate electrical energy.<\/p>\n
At Airbus there was a change in strategy this year: The ‘E-Fan X’ project, which was launched in 2017<\/a> and aimed at a 100-seat regional aircraft with a hybrid-electric drive, was discontinued in May<\/a>. Instead, the Group presented three concepts for the world’s first emission-free commercial aircraft in September. All of these concepts, codenamed ‘ZEROe’<\/a>, rely on hydrogen as the main energy source, but each follows a different approach.<\/p>\n
