World is about to witness a change in energy sector. The new ways of manufacturing, delivering and utilizing energy that is based on highly effective fuel cell. Most of the economies today rely on fossil fuels for energy generation and transportation purposes. But tomorrow will be different as any energy source (including emission free renewable and completely combustible natural gas) can drive the hydrogen economy.
Hydrogen future holds promises for relief from reducing cheap supplies of oil, climate change and regional air pollution. At the same time, it will provide the opportunity to raise the living standard and productivity of developing and developed countries alike.
Fuel cells promises the possibility of clean, quiet and effective power generation. Like most new technologies, fuel cell systems encounter a lot of difficult market introduction issues that has resulted from over-engineered system complications, product immaturity and unproven reliability and durability of product.
These pose a risk of high capital expense, lack of support infrastructure and technical dangers for early approvers of technology. But, various advantages of fuel cell technology suggest that it could become the primary choice mover for some products and applications in future.
It is anticipated that by 2020, fuel cell technology will find its place in homes, industries, transportation and businesses and will power the major portion of almost all economies. The companies dealing in energy technology will export products and services worldwide and hydrogen fuel will enjoy the major part of the technology.
Lower cost and the availability of emergency or back up capabilities for heating, cooling and electricity can benefit the gas customers. The capability to locate fuel cells at or near the power use point also reduce the requirements of electricity transmission and losses, thereby cutting the costs that would otherwise be borne by the user. The clean power plants will also benefit environment.
Hence, fuel cell technology has a bright future as a portable power source. It has obvious benefits over batteries. The run time of fuel cells is longer and they can be recharged instantly. Even the prototypes that are being used are more efficient than advanced Lithium Ion batteries employed in mobiles and other electronic equipment.
