Save the planet use more fuel (cells)

What if the only emission from cars was clean water? With fuel cell technology, that’s not a dream, it’s a reality. Of course, to make a difference, we need this "save the planet" idea to spread. Because we believe many small drops together have the strength of a flood. Imagine if we all used more fuel (cells).

Climate change is one of the world’s greatest challenges and the use of fossil fuels contributes heavily to the problem. The good news is that there are alternatives. If we use hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles instead of fossil-fueled, we will actually be able to eliminate the emission of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particle emissions from transports.

It is important for us to contribute to a better and more sustainable world, and we firmly believe in fuel cell technology. We can also contribute to the advancement of fuel cell technology with both our advanced materials and our deep technical knowledge in materials.

In Sandviken we are able to mass-produce coated steel strip for fuel cell bipolar plates. Our advanced production and coating technology makes the fuel cell plates more durable and efficient compared to other methods of production. Our unique large-scale production plant for coated strip can also reduce costs for fuel cell manufacturers.
