Advent Technologies, a leader in fuel cell and hydrogen technologies, along with Vantage Towers Greece, launched a Proof of Concept (PoC) initiative to replace diesel generators with fuel cells. With more than 5,250 towers in operation, Vantage Towers is the largest and only independent tower infrastructure provider in Greece. At temporary sites that are not connected to the power grid, fuel cells can be used in place of diesel generators to provide even more environmentally friendly electricity.

Vantage Towers and Advent Collaboration
As part of PoC, Vantage Towers Greece, a subsidiary of Vantage Tower Group, one of Europe’s leading tower companies, will evaluate the potential use of Advent’s Serene bio methanol-powered fuel cell systems as backup and primary power sources for its telecom towers.
This new partnership is in line with Vantage Towers’ overall business strategy, which aims to advance sustainable digitalization in Europe by utilizing clean energy choices to lower carbon emissions throughout its network.
