Global Fuel Cell Technology Market, by Fuel types (Hydrogen, Methanol, Methane), by Method (AFC, MFC, MCFC, DCFC), by Application (Stationary, Transportation), by Country (Germany, UK) - Global Forecast 2024

Pune, India -- (SBWire) -- 10/06/2017 --Market Highlights:
Fuel cell is a type of substitute of energy where it is commercialized into micro cogeneration & heat production, and backup power for telecom towers. Fuel cell technology has bright future as it offers more applicability and consistency than other alternatives like wind and sun.

The function of a fuel cell is to generate an electrical current that can be directed outside the cell for work, such as powering an electric motor or enlightening a light bulb. According to the way electricity performs, this current gets back to the fuel cell, completing an electrical circuit.

Fuel cell is a type of battery which produces electricity from an electrochemical reaction. It uses an external supply which performs constantly as long as it supplies hydrogen and oxygen. In the procedure of oxidation, hydrogen by making chemical reaction with oxygen and release water which is used in the process where electrons are released and therefore produce electric current.

The application of fuel cell technology is divided into various diameters. In transportation Proton exchange membrane fuel cells and alkaline fuel cells are used for application such as buses, cars, and APUs. In stationary, Proton exchange membrane fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, Solid oxide fuel cells, and alkaline fuel cells are used for application such as backup power, residential power and DG. In Portable, Direct methanol fuel cells and alkaline fuel cells are used to deliver profits to the application such as battery chargers, sensors, portable power unit, cameras, and mobiles among others.

Advantages/ Driving Factors:
Fuel cells have a greater effectiveness than diesel or gas engines.

Almost all fuel cells work quietly, compared to internal combustion engines. This factor has led the growth of adopting fuel cell technology within buildings like hospitals.

Fuel cells can decrease pollution created by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water.

Fuel cells do not need traditional fuels such as oil or gas and can hence decrease economic dependency on oil producing countries, generating greater energy security.

The application of stationary fuel cells to produce power at the point of use allows for a decentralized power grid that has power to become more stable.

Low temperature fuel cells (PEMFC, DMFC) have low heat transmission which is perfect for military applications.

Higher temperature fuel cells produce high-grade process heat along with electricity and are suitable for cogeneration applications. These factors are benefiting the market growth of fuel cell technology.

Restraining Factor:
The only disadvantage of the fuel cells associated with the cost. Fuel cell technology is extremely expensive compared to other energy systems technology. This factor is hugely restraining the adoption of fuel cell technology.

The primary growth drivers of Global Fuel cell technology market includes rising public private relationships, increasing prices of crude oil and high demand for fuel cells from applications such as power suppliers, automobile, residential builders and electronic companies.

However, Policies of European government which would bring high opportunities in fuel cell technology market in the region are pending to approve and thus obstructing the growth of the Fuel cell technology market.
