Due to supply chain disruptions, project delays, and insufficient funds for research and development, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the global fuel cell technology market. Because hydrogen-based systems necessitate a highly coordinated supply chain and substantial resources for demonstration, they would be particularly vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic on global supply networks.
The International Energy Agency reports that the current demand for hydrogen in the chemical, steel, and oil refining industries has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Energy Agency predicts a 9% decline in gasoline usage, a 6% decline in diesel, and a 26% decline in jet fuel by 2020, with a 7% decline in demand for essential hydrogen-based compounds like methanol. It was anticipated that early 2020 would create a new sales milestone for hydrogen-based fuel-cell vehicles, and sales of these vehicles climbed in 2019.
The rising demand for electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) is a key factor propelling the global fuel cell technology market. There is a high demand for fuel cells due to the fast growing electric car sector. The government is also more interested in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle usage due to the carbon emissions.
Decreased reliance on unconventional energy sources like oil and diesel is also contributing to the expansion of this sector. All throughout the globe, people are looking for fuel cells. Traditional petroleum products and oils have caused environmental problems due to their excessive emissions of CO2, CO, NOx, and SOx. Fuel cells provide an alternative to conventional and non-conventional energy sources by utilizing fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
Significant investments have been made by prominent regional players in the fuel cell business. Fuel cell technology is receiving increased funding from China, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Energy utility investments are on the rise to keep up with demand. Today, clean energy is really necessary. Clean energy is superior to other energy sources in terms of dependability, sustainability, and efficiency. The leading market participants plan to invest an additional $39 million in the following years.
Investments of this magnitude are, hence, a key factor propelling the market. Another important factor propelling the industry is the widespread use of hydrogen fuel cell technology. When it comes to automotive energy, the hydrogen fuel cell is dependable and helpful. Market demand is being boosted by the introduction of the hydrogen cell. Additionally, the defense sector is witnessing remarkable improvement in the utilities and applications of UAVs. One product that is driving the fuel-cell technology industry is this portable power production device used in the defense sector. Demand and revenue rates will be greatly affected by all of these market drivers.
Hydrogen and methanol are the primary fuels for fuel cells. The catalyst and membrane type utilized in the fuel cell determine the operational requirements. A proton exchange membrane is used by some fuel cell technologies, whereas others rely on energy from pure hydrogen. Additionally, fuel-flexible cells are available, which provide convenience in any application. The fuel cell technology industry is very diverse. Additionally, pure hydrogen gas is not necessary for the operation of fuel cells including phosphoric, solid oxide, and acid fuel cells.
