Introduction
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen fuel with oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. The fuel cell is very similar to a battery, wherein an electrochemical reaction arises as long as fuel is available. Hydrogen is kept in a pressurized container and oxygen is taken from the air. Because of the absenteeism of combustion, there are no harmful emissions, and the only by-product is pure water. Hydrogen and fuel cells market is primarily driven by several factors such as high demand in the automotive, telecommunications, and residential Micro-CHP sectors and the reduced dependency on non-conventional energy sources. Some of the constraints such as the lesser durability of fuel cell hinder the growth of the market.
Emerging economies are greatly focusing on developing the hydrogen fuel cell technology and infrastructure to limit the carbon emission and meet the growing power demand in respective countries. Hydrogen fuel cell is presently at the development stage with government initiatives and R&D programmes across major economies. It can be concluded that a positive outcome through these research program will absolutely help the market grow in these emerging economies during the forecast period.
For the purpose of study, global hydrogen and fuel cells market has been segmented based on type, end-user, application, and region. Based on type, the market has been segmented into air-cooled type, and water-cooled type. Air-Cooled type accounted for the largest market share in 2016. Based on application, the market is segmented into stationary, transport and portable. Stationary application segment is the largest market share in 2016. Included in the stationary FC market are the main applications such as prime power, large CHP, residential CHP, and uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
