Flow batteries are gaining momentum, and for good reason. With projected growth at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 20% through 2030, flow batteries promise to transform both renewable energy storage and grid stability. They offer a path toward safer, longer-duration energy storage for a grid that can truly run on renewables. But to get there, we need materials that are scalable, safer, and high-performing. At Cellfion, we’re enabling this future with PFAS-free, cellulose-based membranes, designed to meet the specific needs of flow battery developers. 🌿 Clean energy doesn’t come from one solution. It comes from collaboration. Reach out to find out more and to explore opportunities for collaboration 👉 info@cellfion.se

The clean energy transition is progressing steadily, increasing the demand for safer, high-performance materials. As hydrogen technologies, flow batteries, and ion-separation technologies expand, the materials used in core components like ion-exchange membranes are under greater scrutiny. In Europe, upcoming PFAS regulations are accelerating the shift toward fluorine-free alternatives. Key developments from the past year: 🍃 According to BloombergNEF, the global hydrogen sector is experiencing significant growth, with annual supply projected to increase 30-fold to 16.4 million tons by 2030. The United States, Europe, and China are expected to dominate this expansion, accounting for 80% of global clean hydrogen output. 🔋 The International Energy Agency (IEA) notes that long-duration energy storage technologies, including flow batteries, are gaining strategic attention globally. Several utility-scale deployments, such as China’s 700 MWh vanadium flow battery in Dalian and multi-megawatt projects in the EU and U.S., are positioning flow batteries as a vital complement to intermittent renewables. ⚡ Governments worldwide are enhancing support for clean energy initiatives. The European Union’s Hydrogen Bank awarded €720 million to seven green hydrogen projects in 2024, aiming to bolster renewable hydrogen capacity and drive down production costs through competitive bidding. ♻️ The European Union is moving toward a broad restriction on PFAS chemicals under REACH, citing their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. This is driving innovation across industries in search of viable, non-PFAS alternatives. At Cellfion, we’re developing cellulose-based, PFAS-free membranes that are demonstrating strong performance in real-world testing. In several ongoing projects, our membranes have matched commercial standards, confirming their relevance across multiple electrochemical applications. As the industry adapts to new standards and expectations, material choices will play a critical role in shaping the future of clean energy systems. If you're working on hydrogen, flow batteries, or ion-separation and exploring PFAS-free alternatives - we’re happy to collaborate. #cleanenergy #hydrogen #flowbatteries #PFASfree #energystorage #membranes #innovation #EUgreenDeal #Cellfion

We're happy to be covered in ESS News alongside Cellfion! Rivus is collaborating with Cellfion to co-develop our products and have achieved great initial lab-results using their bio-based membranes. We’re looking forward to continuing and expanding our partnership! From the article: Cellfion collaborates with Swedish organic flow battery specialist Rivus Batteries. The goal, (Cellfion's) CEO Hardey explained, was to create a “large-scale energy storage system using non-PFAS membranes and metal-free electrolyte.” He added, “The project leverages both Cellfion’s and Rivus’ core technologies to create an alternative to traditional flow batteries. We’ve made significant progress and will be sharing further updates in the near future.” Thank you Cellfion for a great partnership!! To know more, read the article here: https://lnkd.in/d_eWCrVq
