Summary Outline of the report and table of contents (14 pages)

Introduction Objectives, scope, research methods and client entitlements (6 pages)

Developments In The Energy Market Regional forecasts to 2025 of factors influencing the emergence of FCs and their competitors - energy consumption - electricity demand - economic development - size and structure of power plant markets.(30 pages, 14 Figures, 9 Tables)

Distributed Generation And Fuel Cells Distributed energy market drivers and sector forecasts associated with cogeneration, chemical co-production, power-only applications in baseload, intermediate and intermittent duties - FC market forecasts in capacity and volume terms to 2025 by application, region and power band - coverage extends from residential scale applications to 100MW (77 pages, 7 Figures, 21 Tables)

Other Fuel Cell Power Plant Markets Analysis of opportunities in - large-scale plant (over 100MW for central power, district energy and industrial applications) - renewable energy - secure and premium power systems - standby, peaking, rental and other applications - FC forecasts as above (56 pages, 3 Figures, 6 Tables)

Small-Scale Fuel Cells Examination of markets (some with exceptional volume potential) down to mW ratings, as integrated power sources for communication products, digital equipment, consumer electronics, industrial and military systems - lightweight multi-purpose power sources - portable gensets - volume, value and capacity forecasts by application, region and power band (33 pages, 8 Figures, 13 Tables)

Transportation Issues For Fuel Cells An introduction to the transportation sector, with particular reference to the fuel options for FC power sources (centrally produced hydrogen, local hydrogen, methanol, gasoline etc) - estimates of market distribution by fuel type (21 pages)

Transportation Fuel Cell Markets Discussion and analysis of transportation applications and the role for fuel cells in specific areas including - vehicular auxiliary power units and range extenders - light duty traction (electric bicycles and scooters, personal mobility vehicles, golf carts, neighborhood vehicles etc) - passenger car fuel cell vehicles - buses and commercial FCVS - military and other off-road vehicles - materials handling equipment - marine, rail, aerospace and other applications - volume, value and capacity forecasts by application, region and power band (99 pages, 7 Figures, 25 Tables)

Fuel Cell Market Overview Composite forecasts analyzed by application (20 application categories, with volume (units), value ($M) and capacity (MW) forecasts at intervals to 2025) - by power rating (11 power bands, with volume, value and capacity forecasts as above) - by geographic region (5 regions, with forecasts as before) - and by FC type (PEMFCs, DMFCs, other LT FCs, MCFCs and SOFCs, with forecasts as before). The overview concludes with market summaries for the principal FC types, with volume, value and capacity forecasts in each case (20 pages, 11 Figures, 10 Tables)

Conclusions Draws together some of the key points emerging from the study (3 pages)

The project is directed and undertaken by EscoVale in co-operation with other research agencies and information specialists. This phase of the study is based on more than three man-years’ work, building on a similar commitment to earlier stages together with non-confidential information gathered during the course of other projects concerned with fuel cells and competing technologies. We believe that this is the largest study of its type undertaken to date in this sector, based on an aggregate project value in excess of $1M.

This is a totally independent study.  Those undertaking the work are not obligated to any particular technology; nor are they aligned to the interests of a particular client group. The authors have more than 30 years' experience in technical and business consultancy projects relating to FCs for energy/auto companies, developers/suppliers, government agencies, potential investors and others. They are also familiar with the products that will compete with FCs, where the company has a multi-million dollar track record covering reciprocating engines, turbomachinery and storage technologies for use within the energy, industrial and automotive sectors. See overleaf for a selection (less than half) of EscoVale report recipients. 

In-house expertise represents only part of the input. Several hundred sources throughout the world have being contacted during the research, including organizations concerned with FC development, evaluation and funding. Advice sought from many companies involved with competing technologies provides further input - an important point since it is the achievements in these areas that will determine the criteria against which FCs will be judged.

Pre-publication clients ordering Report #5045 will also receive Reports #5040 and #3406. Reduced prices are applicable for previous clients - details on request.
