The global Automotive Fuel Cell Vehicle market was valued at $ 1.14 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 58.8% from 2020 to 2027. The factors that have accelerated the growth of the automotive fuel cell market include growing demand for environmental concern, high efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell, an increase in the government investment, and programs for the development of fuel cells, and among others. The other factors that have led to the growth of the market include advancement in technology and faster refueling as compared to gasoline and diesel.
Increase in government initiatives
Various governments across the globe have taken different initiatives for the development of fuel cell vehicles to overcome the environmental concern. According to the Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association, Canada’s Department of Natural Resources (NRCan) had introduced the Green Infrastructure Fund in 2017 to support the deployment of clean energy infrastructure across the country. The funds from this initiative are dedicated to electric vehicles and alternate fuel infrastructure development. Also According to Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association, Japan’s Ministerial Council on Renewable Energy in 2018, released a new strategy to allow the global path for a carbon-free society. The strategy involved the adoption of hydrogen FCVs by lowering the price of hydrogen to one-fifth of its current cost by 2050. There are various other initiatives which different governments are taking for the development of fuel cell vehicle which will hence lead to the growth of the market in the future.
Greenhouse reduction by the use of hydrogen fuel cell
The production of hydrogen can be done through carbon-free energy sources or by the use of fossil fuel with carbon dioxide. Hence, the use of hydrogen in vehicles can lead to the elimination of greenhouse gas emission which will eventually limit the environmental concern. The fuel cell used in the vehicles will provide an efficient and clean energy generation for different fuels. According to data published by the European Commission, the introduction of fuel cell vehicles can reduce the overall greenhouse gas emission from the passenger car fleet in the European Union.
According to data published by the European Commission, the percentage of new cars fuelled with zero-carbon hydrogen is 5% in 2020 and is expected to be 25% by 2030 and 35% by 2040.
