Global Stationary Fuel CellFuel cells produce heat and water while generating electricity from fuels such as methanol and natural gas. The type of fuel required for operations is determined not only by the membrane type but also by the catalyst type utilized in the fuel cell. Some proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells require pure hydrogen to operate, while others are fuel-flexible, allowing users to operate them more easily. Phosphoric acid fuel cells (PACs), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), alkaline fuel cells (AFCs), and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are examples of fuel cells that can function without pure hydrogen.

Huge investment opportunities
Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and China are among the largest investors in fuel cell technology and improvements. In 2021, the US Department of Energy announced a USD 39 million investment in fuel cell technology. Similarly, the HyLAW EU Project, which sought to identify and remove legal and administrative hurdles to the deployment of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen applications in Europe, brought together 23 countries. In January 2017, HyLAW began operations in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Finland, France, and Spain. The majority of commercial R&D efforts are concentrated on the development and advancement of fuel cell-powered cars, which is likely to open up new market prospects.
However, research and development activities relating to utilities and UAVs for the defense sector, as well as portable power generation units, have expanded significantly in recent years. The increased attention of governments throughout the world on the use of sustainable energy sources has resulted in an increase in overall investments in fuel cell-based electricity generation. As a result, the increased investment improves the current and future growth of the innovations in the fuel cells market.
Fuel flexibility
Fuel cells produce heat and water while generating electricity from fuels such as methanol and natural gas. The type of fuel required for operations is determined not only by the membrane type but also by the catalyst type utilized in the fuel cell. Some proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells require pure hydrogen to operate, while others are fuel-flexible, allowing users to operate them more easily. Phosphoric acid fuel cells (PACs), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), alkaline fuel cells (AFCs), and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are examples of fuel cells that can function without pure hydrogen.
The operational capabilities of these fuel cells, which are widely and inexpensively available in conventional or non-conventional fuels, are referred to as fuel flexibility. This is expected to provide profitable prospects for manufacturers in the advanced fuel cell technology industry, as well as promote improvements even when pure hydrogen is scarce.
Limited hydrogen infrastructure
Hydrogen is used extensively in fuel cell operations. Production, storage, transportation, and distribution of hydrogen are all part of the hydrogen infrastructure. It is necessary to disperse hydrogen once it has been produced. It can be delivered to the point of usage by pipelines or other modes of transportation. The availability of hydrogen fuel pumps is critical to the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell cars. The United States has the most hydrogen filling stations, which serve as important hubs for fuel cell automobiles. As a result of these characteristics, the UK is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period, with Japan and Germany also proving to be promising markets for fuel cell vehicles. Other portions of the world, on the other hand, lack the infrastructure required for hydrogen distribution. According to industry experts, the number of hydrogen vehicle filling stations in these areas will expand over the next ten years. The lack of hydrogen fueling infrastructure may have an impact on future demand for hydrogen generation by fuel cell vehicles. The development of hydrogen fueling stations will necessitate significant investment and extensive assistance from both public and commercial groups. As a result, the market for hydrogen-based fuel cells is now stifled due to a lack of supporting infrastructure.
