Governments are scrambling to develop alternatives to gasoline engines as concern about emissions and carbon footprints grows. As a result, the use of zero emission automobiles is rising. The fuel cell is a cost-effective and alluring option for zero-emission mobility. A fuel cell-electric vehicle is an electrically propelled vehicle that uses hydrogen as its energy source to produce electricity in a fuel cell. The traction battery can also be used to temporarily store this energy. Furthermore, compared to gas or diesel engines, fuel cells are more efficient. Furthermore, compared to internal combustion engines, the majority of fuel cells operate with a low noise level.
A green wave has undoubtedly been sparked by the emergence of this disease, with significant reductions in harmful emissions resulting from diverse human development activities. Additionally, governments will be able to take advantage of this unfortunate circumstance and advance the drive toward the use of low-carbon technology in order to tackle the damaging climate issues thanks to the ongoing deployment of FCEVs. In light of this coronavirus epidemic, the demand for fuel cell technology is probably going to increase. For instance, as part of the post-COVID economy recovery, the Railway Industry Association in the UK encouraged the national administration to increase funding to promote battery and environmentally friendly hydrogen-powered trains in July 2020. The group has expressed interests in advancing the use of low-carbon trains and advancing the green economic renaissance.
The market is divided into four categories based on geography: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The automotive fuel cell market is anticipated to be driven by the Asia Pacific region and continue to expand. In order to limit the negative impacts of global warming, the governments of nations like China, Japan, and Hong Kong are promoting the use of renewable energies. Because there are so many vehicles on the highways in North America, efforts are being made to limit carbon emissions. The need for fuel cells as a greener alternative to conventional cells is growing due to the increased demand for both light and heavy commercial vehicles.
Automakers find the automotive fuel cell technology to be an appealing prospect, which enables them to produce high energy cells that can power the vehicles. The main energy source for the fuel cells is either hydrogen or methane. Compared to traditional lithium-ion battery cells, which cannot be recycled, both of these elements are cleaner fuel sources. Lithium-ion battery cells provide a disposal issue, which has a significant negative influence on the environment.
The market for automobile fuel cells has grown as people are becoming more aware of zero-emission vehicles. The global market for automotive fuel cells is expanding due to strict regulatory regulations and pollution requirements. Additionally, fuel cells extend the vehicle's operational range. Additionally, growing public awareness of the World Health Organization's (WHO) poor air quality index may boost fuel cell sales for automobiles. However, hydrogen is dangerous to store and highly combustible. Inadequate hydrogen infrastructure and rising BEV and HEV adoption are also impeding the market's expansion. Additionally, since there are no moving parts, fuel cells require little maintenance, spurring market expansion.
Fuel cells have a lot of benefits, but their commercial expansion is constrained by the cost of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen. However, makers of vehicle fuel cells are constantly under pressure to develop a substitute for splitting water molecules. Recently, researchers from Griffith University and Swinburne University of Technology discovered a method to split water molecules by employing catalysts made of cheap metals like iron and nickel. This would support the expansion of the vehicle fuel cell sector.
Many businesses worldwide are working to conduct R&D operations in order to make significant advancements in fuel cell car technologies. To increase the power output efficiency of cars, many players are currently implementing the technology across their fleets. For instance, Ballard Power Systems received a follow-up order from Van Hool in Belgium in December 2020 to power fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) made by Van that will be used in Emmen, the Netherlands. For A330 buses with an operational range of 350–400 kilometers and a carrying capacity of about 74 passengers, Ballard is scheduled to offer ten new FC modules.
