The debate around the potential of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to drive decarbonisation is not new. But with the industry having performed lots of research and limited-scale market introductions, Luc Wanten, CEO of fuel cell plate manufacturer Borit, believes the sector has finally reached a tipping point.
-
As the World Energy Council (WEC) recently remarked, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies have experienced “cycles of high expectations followed by impractical realities” going back many years. However, the mix of falling fuel cell prices, stringent climate change requirements, and a strong commitment to the hydrogen sector by many countries - most notably China, South Korea and Japan - is now transforming their potential.

A fuel cell generates electricity by forcing a fuel to react with oxygen. The most commonly used fuel today is hydrogen, but fuel cells can use almost any hydrocarbon including gas and alcohol. A constant supply of fuel and oxygen is required to sustain the reaction that produces the electricity.
-
With increasing demand from a range of transportation segments, fuel cell technology is expected to grow exponentially in coming years.
