the us and europe mainly industrial power generation companies are collaborating with oemstier1s for commercial production of hydrogen and are actively developing electrolyzers to extract green and blue hydrogen to cater to industry demandstoyotas ethanol flexfuel hybrid review biofuel hybrid car that nitin gadkari wants to useway forward evs and hydrogen technologyhydrogen technology is a frontrunner for the longrange transportation segment especially in commercial vehicle applications fuel cells are lighter and denser in comparison with batteries which will amount to longer ranges with an option to refuel in minutes fuelcell vehicles are expected to grow by 60 over the next 5 years however the formalization and feasibility of the automotive sector will happen at a slower rateas more and more vehicles with fuelcell technology are introduced in the market the focus soon will be on cost reduction with efficient and greener hydrogen production cheaper fuel cell components catalyst materials and setting up of hydrogen refilling stationsoems and tier1s must also work together to develop compressors sensors and piping components with design modificationnew design to suit the fc stack systemfuel cells along with their application in automobiles will also be used for portable energy generation devices and stationary power generation conclusionoems are fighting an uphill battle in their search to find alternative fuels to reduce their carbon footprint thus there is a move towards a greener ecosystem as per regulations imposed by government authorities in respective countries fuel cell vehicles are an excellent choice in this regard they help reduce dependency on battery electric vehicles which are suffering from problems like scarcity of lithium cobalt manganese and other materials fuel cells with the option to refuel in almost the same time as a conventional vehicle without any emission will serve as the best alternative to conventional vehiclesfuel cells can also be used as a portable energy generation device that can be transported to the required location and can be used as a power plant this reduces our dependency on fossil fuels and will help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and consequently reduce global warminghowever this transformation to fuel cell mobility comes at a price the components and materials used in fc stacks are very expensive and with hydrogen available in very limited quantity is currently being produced from fossil fuels hence there is an urgent need for oems energy companies and suppliers to come together and invest in research and development of better materials for the fuel cell stack the focus is also needed on developing more efficient electrolysis methods for the extraction of hydrogen which would require setting up of massive hydrogen plants as more and more vehicles are introduced the need for adequate infrastructure also becomes a point of concern both manufacturers and government authorities need to collaborate and set up these facilities all over the country for the convenience of customersafter adequate measures are taken to introduce fuel cell vehicles to the market it is essential that we remove the stigma attached to the purchase of fcevs
