At 11.0% CAGR, the Europe Hydrogen Fuel Cell Train Market is Projected to be worth US$ 1,874.92 million by 2030, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights research, the Europe hydrogen fuel cell train market was valued at US$ 816.29 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1,874.92 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.0% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing proliferation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology and technological and infrastructural development in transport sector are among the critical factors attributed to the Europe hydrogen fuel cell train market expansion.
Fuel cells primarily work on the principle of electrochemical reaction by converting chemical energy into electrical power. One of the most promising technologies of fuel cells is the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). The PEM fuel cell technology is most suitable for automotive applications owing to its high-power density. The function of PEM fuel cells can be reversed for O2 and H2 generation by using a water electrolysis process. The reverse technology of PEM fuel cells is a promising option for storing excess renewable power. When renewable power generation is more than the required amount, surplus renewable energy can be used to generate H2, and later, it can be converted back to electricity using PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell technology. The key end use of PEM fuel cells emphasizes transportation mainly because of its possible influence on the environment, like reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. Other uses include portable and distributed or stationary power production. In addition, the hydrogen fuel cell is a budding electrification technology that can offer mobility and reduced noise features for military vehicles while delivering high torque with scalable energy capacities. The growing technological evolution and more ongoing research are anticipated to boost the application of different fuel cell technologies in the near future.
