Alkaline fuel cell (AFC) is also known as bacon fuel cell. It uses a solution of potassium hydroxide in water as an electrolyte to assist the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to form water, heat and electricity. This cell can operate at 150-200 degree Celsius and can generate power from 300 watts to 5 megawatts. It is highly efficient but very low at emission in some areas of United States. The cells reduce noise pollution as they are very quiet.
The report “Alkaline Fuel Cell Market Forecast 2014-2019”, analyses the market in terms of geography. The market is segmented into regions covering North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of World.
Fuel cells allow more KWH storage than batteries of the same weight; that’s why it is preferred as a replacement of batteries. There is also rise in investment from Governments and companies towards this industry since last decade. Fuel cells are also flexible because it allows variety of fuels like natural gas and biogas. The wind and the sun act as sources of energy. The above factors are driving this market.
Alkaline fuel cells can operate at low temperature, which is more suitable for space programs. They does not require any precious metals and have a low manufacturing cost.
The report provides an extensive competitive landscaping of key companies operating in this market. The key players of the market covered in the report are AFC Fuel Cell (U.K.), Ballard Fuel Cell Products (Canada), and others. Further, country wise market share, new product and service launches, M&A, and product portfolio of key players is also covered in the report.
