Strategies for Stationary and Portable Fuel Cell Markets

Abstract

In the future, hydrogen-based stationary and portable fuel cell systems can help supply some or all of the power demanded with additional advantages of higher reliability, lower emissions, independence from the general grid, and cogeneration capability. In order to understand how to prepare the future for this technology, this paper describes a thorough investigation of past alternative stationary and portable power projects in order for an assessment of the opportunities for stationary and portable fuel cell markets, as well as interactions with transportation hydrogen systems. The lessons learned from the programs are used to establish best practices and recommendations for a hydrogen strategy that addresses opportunities for hydrogen in power generation systems, as well as to make recommendations for market transformation within the hydrogen fuel cell industry.
