(Transportation-News.com, September 11, 2019 ) Market Overview
• Fuel cells are the devices that convert the energy of a chemical reaction, typically between hydrogen and oxygen, directly into low-voltage DC electricity and into heat.
• The Fuel cell market is on upsurge because of the various advantages of fuel cells compared to conventional power sources. Fuel cells have a broader range of application than any other currently available power source – from toys to large power plants, from vehicles to mobile chargers, and from household power to battlefield power.
Market Dynamics
• Due to the increased amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released from burning fossil fuels for energy, the demand for a cleaner and the more efficient power source is increasing.
• This is a significant driver for the Fuel Cell market.
• Essential fuel cells running on pure hydrogen are pollution free, giving off only electricity, water, and heat. The potential for fuel cells to provide zero or near-zero emissions has been a significant force in the development of technology over the past 30 years and is drawing increasing attention to the technology today.
• The most significant increase—nearly triple—in MWs occurred in the transportation sector, and that growth can be attributed to the introduction and expansion of fuel cell light-duty vehicles from Japan and Korea to new regions around the world.
• There was also the inclusion of Honda’s fuel cell vehicle in the marketplace. Other transportation applications such as buses and material handling also contributed to the increase in MW shipped.
• The biggest hurdle for fuel cells market today is cost. Fuel cells cannot yet compete economically with more traditional energy technologies, though rapid technological advances are being made. So high cost of fuel cells can be a possible restraint for this market.
