Fuel Cell is a fast growing technology with benefits over batteries in terms of quantum of energy stored. In portable applications, fuel cells can be used for devices such as mobile, laptop, camera, etc. These also make good replacements for batteries used in military applications. Fuel cells offer more energy density, an average of 400% more than batteries, which mean higher energy in the same weight. Commercial launch of portable electronic fuel cell chargers will increase the unit shipments of portable fuel cells.

Fuel Cell Technology is a clean energy source becoming widely commercialized for its various applications. The fuel cell industry has been growing at a promising growth rate in recent years. Technological developments and growing commercialization have fuelled the demand for fuel cells. This growing demand has been positively affecting the development of hydrogen infrastructure globally. The stationary units used for telecommunication and household purposes are primarily designed keeping cost in mind. The primary fuel source is a major aspect of the fuel cells as its availability affects the use of fuel cells.

The European fuel cell market is witnessing significant growth based on increased demand for clean energy and large investments related to hydrogen infrastructure development, especially in Germany and the U.K. In terms of applications of the fuel cell, the market is dominated by stationary applications due to off the grid applications and household applications.
