Fuel cells represent an efficient conversion technology among the power options available in the energy landscape of the future, to create more efficient and sustainable system designs. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) play a dominant role in small stationary, portable and transportation applications now in development. This study examines the timelines by various governments and private companies for conquering the challenges of cost, durability, performance and fuel availability in products ranging from Blackberries to BMWs, forklifts to field-based telecomm backup power units, with residential and light fleet energy systems in between. It discusses design, materials and market innovations in both specific elements and total PEMFC systems, as well as scale-up progress to volume production.
