Fuel Cell Market: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fuel cell technology is much better than other alternatives because the equipment„s lifetime costs, including operating costs, are much lower than competing technologies. There are many other benefits that fuel cells provide like low-to-no emissions, lower maintenance costs, high reliability, silent operation, faster fuelling, and constant, high-quality, uninterrupted power. In this paper, we have discussed about the market of fuel cell along with its present need and various obstacles.

متن کاملPoly (Ether Ether Ketone) Based Anion Exchange Membrane for Solid Alkaline Fuel Cell: A Review
Solid alkaline fuel cell is employed by polymer anion exchange membrane (AEM) that is permeable to hydroxide ion. A number of polymers have been proposed for AEM which include polysulfone (PSF), poly (phenylene oxide) (PPO), and poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK). The purpose of this paper was to conduct a critical review on the development of PEEK polymer as AEM, particu...
متن کاملA Comparative Review of Global Transportation Energy Outlook
In 2010, the global transport sector consumed about 2,200 million tons of oil equivalent. About 96% of this amount came from oil. It shows that more than 60% of the oil consumed globally goes to the transportation sector. Road transport accounts for the bulk of the transportation energy consumption. The light-duty vehicles (LDVs), including light trucks, light commercial vehicles, and minibuses...
