Hydrogen Fuel Cell – The Future Electric Vehicles (EV)

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell to power its on-board electric motor. Hydrogen is used to operate a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles possess high potential to reduce emissions related to the transportation sector. This vehicle does not generate any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during vehicle operation unlike diesel-powered and gasoline vehicles.

Owing to rise in concerns of environment degradation and depletion of natural resources, various technologies are being launched in the market that support the eco-friendly concept to sustain the environment. Moreover, increase in awareness toward the consequences of air pollution and rise in levels of traffic & greenhouse gas emission drive the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as it is eco-friendly than other conventional vehicles.  

Hydrogen fueling station has gained tremendous focus after the successful recent progress with cell electric vehicles, which came into existence depending on hydrogen power. Some companies find the ease of manufacturing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The initial rollout of fuel cell electric vehicles is supported by the increased number of retail hydrogen fueling locations in select markets. In many developed countries, companies are even offering to start manufacturing FCEVs for sale or lease to customers in markets where hydrogen fuel is available, primarily in California. Focus should be placed on hydrogen fuel as the future fuel to replace the existing gasoline or electric engine vehicles. Therefore, increase in demand for vehicles, which cause less pollution, is going to drive the growth of the hydrogen fueling station market over the forecast period.

Automotive fuel cells can have one or all of the following characteristics:

• A fuel cell is sized to provide all of the power to a vehicle. A battery may be present for startup.
• A fuel cell typically supplies a constant amount of power, so for vehicle acceleration and other power spikes, additional devices are typically switched on such as batteries, ultra or supercapacitors, and so on.
• A fuel cell can be used as the secondary power source. A system can be set up where batteries power the vehicle, and the fuel cell recharges the batteries when needed.
• A fuel cell can run part or all of the vehicle’s electrical system. Sometimes another engine is used for propulsion.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers powertrains that do not emit tailpipe greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. This feature helps to attract vendors towards use of this technology. However, high cost of raw materials such as platinum in the fuel cell anode and carbon fiber to produce the hydrogen fuel tanks and others required to develop hydrogen infrastructure is expected to hamper the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market growth.
