While fuel cells are a technology that has been known to scientists for almost 200 years, in the modern world, they represent an innovative source of energy. Fuel cells are favored as a “green” technology for their low emissions, quiet operation and high efficiency. They can be fed by fuels that are readily available, including biofuels, thus reducing reliance on foreign oil and an electric grid that is aging and in many places pushed beyond capacity.

The great appeal of fuel cells is that they can operate continuously as long as the necessary flows of fuel and oxygen are maintained, and they produce only water as a byproduct, rather than being a source of pollution.

Although it is a relatively young industry, fuel cells have shown vigorous growth in the past few years. SBI Energy research estimates that the market grew from $353 million in 2005 to $498 million in 2009. We predict global sales will reach $1.2 billion by 2014.

Much of the early optimism for the future of the industry was driven by U.S. and other government investment. Early expectations of a quick, low-cost source of alternative energy have been mediated by the realities of lengthy product development cycles and the growing acceptance of alternative energy technologies such as wind and solar. As the new US administration pulls back from aggressive investment in the technology, some observers are now questioning how quickly fuel cells can achieve widespread commercialization. As a consequence, fuel cells are in a race with other alternative energy technologies such as solar and wind for widespread acceptance.

In this dynamic and rapidly changing marketplace, SBI Energy’s new report, Fuel Cell Technologies Worldwide, will provide clear guidance and insight on various technologies and end-use markets.

The report zeroes in on the historic growth (2005-2009) and growth potential (2010-2014) of the global market for fuel cells and discuss various fuel cell technologies currently used. Market size and growth will be broken out by major country and by region of the world. The report will also segment the market by technology (type of fuel cell as defined by the electrolyte used), and application (stationary power, portable electronics, motor vehicles, backup power supplies, military & aerospace, and others), and provide detailed profiles of companies that are leading the way in the industry.

The information in Fuel Cell Technologies Worldwide is based on interviews with industry leaders and fuel cell researchers, as well as primary and secondary data from industry sources such as Fuel Cell 2000, Fuel Cell Today, and the US Fuel Cell Council. Research also includes company literature and websites, news reports and research services such as OneSource.
