Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2015 -- Report forecast the Fuel Cell Market in North America to grow at a CAGR of 33.14 percent in terms of unit shipment and at 38.59 percent in terms of MW shipment over the period 2014-2019.

Fuel cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy through an electromechanical reaction. They are similar to batteries. A fuel cell consists of two electrodes, anode (positive) and cathode (negative), and an electrolyte that carry electrically charged elements from one electrode to another. A catalyst is required in the fuel cell, which speeds up the reaction taking place in the electrodes. Fuel cells create little pollution, because they use hydrogen as fuel. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water, which is a harmless by-product. This pollution reduction is one of the major reasons for the increased growth of the Fuel Cell Market in North America . Various fuels that can be used in a fuel cell are methanol, biogas, hydrogen, natural gas, and hydrocarbons.

The Fuel Cell Market in North America can be divided into the following segments on the basis of application: Stationary, Portable, and Transportation. Based on fuel cell type, the market can be categorized into the following segments: PEMFC, SOFC, DMFC, PAFC, AFC, and MCFC.

According to the report, abundant energy sources and emerging applications are a major factor driving the Fuel Cell market in North America. Hydrogen is used in stationary fuel cells as it is the lightest, most abundant chemical in the universe.

Further, the report states that functional issues and the technologies related to fuel cell applications comprise challenges that hinder the growth of the Fuel Cell market in North America. Current compressor technologies are not suitable for fuel cell applications, which make air management difficult.
