About us

HYCCO aims to become a major manufacturer of bipolar plate, for fuel cell makers willing to prepare their next generation of hydrogen fuel cell. From R&D to integration, HYCCO will help you to integrate our proprietary technology into your system, and provide bipolar plates manufacturing capabilities, from prototypes to mass production.
"Hydrogen is a key factor in the energy transition"

HYCCO is an innovative French startup currently developing carbon based bipolar plates that are thinner, lighter and more resilient than any other competitors. Those ultra-light and durable components can be used for both Low and High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (LT-PEMFC and HT-PEMFC). Located between Toulouse and Albi, we have access to state-of-the-art processing and characterisation tools to prototype and validate our core technology.

  • Thanks to our various partnerships we have access to state-of-the-art facilities to process, characterise and integrate our technology into fuel cells

  • Our startup is located at the heart of the French aerospace valley, where skills on composites are numerous and internationally renowned

  • HYCCO has access to state-of-the-art fuel cell benchmarks in order to validate its technology in real environment

  • Our team has extensive experience in R&D and is multidisciplinary
