ABOUT POLYFUEL Company Fact Sheet (PDF) PolyFuel is the world leader in engineered membranes that provide breakthrough performance in fuel cells for portable electronic and automotive applications. The state of the art in fuel cells is essentially that of the membrane. Our leading-edge, hydrocarbon-based membranes enable a new generation of portable and automotive fuel cells that for the first time can satisfy the desire for long-running, and cost-effective portable power, and can deliver on the long-awaited promise of clean, efficient automotive power based upon renewable energy sources. PolyFuel’s unmatched capability to rapidly translate the system-level requirements of fuel cell designers and manufacturers into engineered polymer nano-architectures has led to its introduction of best-in-class hydrocarbon membranes for both portable direct methanol fuel cells and for automotive hydrogen fuel cells. Such capability – based on PolyFuel’s over 150 combined years of fuel cell experience, world-class polymer nano-architects, and a fundamental patent position covering more than 15 different inventions – also makes PolyFuel an essential development partner and supplier to any company seeking to advance the state of the art in fuel cells. Polymer electrolyte fuel cells built with PolyFuel membranes can be smaller, lighter, longer-running, more efficient, less expensive and more robust than those made with conventional fluorocarbon membrane materials. PolyFuel was spun out of SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) in 1999, after 14 years of applied membrane research. The company is based in Mountain View, California, and is publicly listed on the AIM stock exchange in London.
