Make your personalized pitch page for hydrogen fuel cell companies

While it is possible to build a homemade hydrogen fuel cell, using it to effectively power a car is a significant engineering challenge. For practical applications, it may be more feasible to explore existing hydrogen fuel cell technologies or kits designed for educational purposes.

Hydrogen is highly flammable, igniting more easily than many other fuels. This presents significant safety challenges, particularly during transportation and storage. Leak detection is especially difficult, as hydrogen is colorless, odorless, and its small molecules can escape through tiny s.

Using CCUS technologies to reduce the CO2 emissions from hydrogen production increases the levelised cost of production to around USD 1 to USD 2 per kg. Using renewable electricity to produce hydrogen costs USD 3 to USD 8 per kg.

Hydrogen can be produced from polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers at a cost of ~$5 to $6/kg-H2, assuming existing technology, low volume electrolyzer capital costs as high as $1,500/kW, and grid electricity prices of $0.05/kWh to $0.07/kWh.

The current market size of the Fuel Cell market is USD 3.3 billion in 2023. What are the major drivers for the Fuel Cell market? Increasing stringent government regulations on greenhouse gas emissions and rising demand for fuel cell vehicles will be major drivers for the Fuel Cell market.

General Motors is the only company developing and commercializing both hydrogen fuel cells and EV battery technology, and the Ultium Platform and HYDROTEC fuel cell power cubes deliver where it matters most performance and cost.

Typically, a fuel cell system is twice as efficient as a gasoline system. Most of the fuel cell vehicles coming to market in the next few years will be able to deliver close to 70 miles per kilogram of fuel. Thatʼs the equivalent of 70 miles per gallon.

Making hydrogen is more expensive than making Gasoline. The problem with hydrogen is that it takes far more electricity to make it than the energy you will get once it goes through a fuel cell. The internal combustion engine can also run on hydrogen, but not much better than the efficiencies with gasoline.
