Hydrogen Fuel Cells Market

Market Trends:

Due to escalating concerns about environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources, various technologies that support the green concept are launched on the market to support the environment. In addition, escalated awareness of the consequences of air pollution and escalated levels of traffic and greenhouse gas emissions are leading to the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as they are more environmentally friendly than others.

Market Drivers:

Gasoline, being a fossil fuel, is not a renewable energy source and is predicted to run out in the future. It is important to develop and use alternative fuel sources to support sustainable development. It involves the use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and electric vehicles, which do not use gasoline and are economical compared to conventional vehicles. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are more efficient than IC motor vehicles and hybrid vehicles and are 60-70% efficient compared to the other two. The call for fuel-efficient vehicles has recently escalated due to rising gasoline and diesel prices. This is also due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the growing tendency for companies to make the most of these oil reserves. These factors, therefore, reinforce the need for advanced fuel-efficient technologies, resulting in escalated calls for hydrogen fuel cell travel vehicles. The escalating adoption of hydrogen fuel cell fuel stations around the world is escalating the viability of hydrogen fuel cells for alternative automotive propulsion. Germany is home to the largest number of hydrogen filling stations. Manufacturers are focusing on saving hydrogen as environmental concerns mount. Hydrogen fuel cells are also scalable. They can be combined to form stacks, which in turn can be combined to form larger systems. These systems range in size and power, from portable systems for recharging the battery of smartphones, to combustion engine replacements for electric vehicles, to large-scale multi-megawatt installations that provide electricity directly to the distribution network.

Market Restraints:

The high cost of raw materials such as platinum in the fuel cell anode and carbon fiber to produce the hydrogen tanks and others needed to develop the hydrogen infrastructure is predicted to hamper the expansion of the vehicle market of the hydrogen fuel cells.

Market Opportunities:

Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers propulsion systems that do not emit greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particles. This functionality helps attract vendors to use this technology. The worldwide green energy investment and initiative create space for hydrogen cell development during the foreseen period. The growing application of hydrogen fuel cell systems in cold regions of the world for combined heat and power generation, mainly for residential heating and power generation, is one of the main factors that would result in market expansion. Developed and developing economies around the world are currently focusing on producing clean and efficient energy. Various associations and governments have reformed their energy policies to meet the growing call for electricity from the growing population. Hydrogen fuel cells are an efficient way to meet the escalating call for energy for heating and power generation.

Market Challenges:

Another factor that impacts the market is the growing concern for the environment. The overexploitation of fossil fuels has created ecological concerns due to harmful gas emissions.

Market Recent Developments:

  • Japanese automaker Toyota has launched a "completely redesigned" 2021 Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) and says the updated model will be available in Australia next year. The Mirai was first introduced by Toyota in 2014, and the new model is the second generation of the hydrogen vehicle.
  • SinoHytec launches its new hydrogen fuel cell engine. SinoHytecintroduced the latest product, ushering in a coming time of domestic hydrogen fuel cell engines for the advancement of hydrogen energy.
