Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Market Trends

Growth Drivers

  • Increasing Government Initiatives and R&D on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Programs – The increasing government incentives for fuel cells support solid oxide fuel cells market growth. In the United States, several programs for fuel cells provide various incentives for the purpose of fuel cell installations which leads to solid oxide fuel cells and other fuel installations in the country. For instance, the Office of Fossil Energy (FE), U.S. Department of Energy, has chosen two projects to receive roughly USD 2.8 million in federal support for cost-shared research and development projects. The initiatives will develop solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology and get us closer to providing cost-competitive fossil-based power generation with almost no emissions. Besides, in September 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of 12 projects to receive approximately USD 34 million for small-scale solid oxide fuel cell systems.
  • Increasing Demand for Energy-Efficient Technology – The solid oxide fuel cell market growth is due to the rising awareness regarding harmful carbon emissions and the increasing implementation of low-carbon technologies. SOFC system can offer an overall efficiency of up to 90 percent in renewable energy resources. For instance, in April 2021, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its World Energy Review 2021. According to this data from the IEA, the generation of electricity from renewable sources expanded by almost 7% in 2020, while the consumption of clean energy grew by about 3%.
  • Increasing Mergers and Acquisitions – For instance, the Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) announced in May 2022 that it had reached an agreement with Bloom Energy to design the installation and operation of 1.5 megawatts of solid oxide fuel cells. The new project will cut emissions and enhance the municipality of Fayetteville's attempts to achieve North Carolina's clean energy criteria. The system generates power from numerous biogas streams, and the fuel cell installation will be situated next to PWC's P.O. Hoffer Water Treatment Center.

Challenges

  • High Capital Cost Associated with Solid Oxide Fuel Cell - A solid oxide fuel cell is an intricate synthesis of multiple chemical components that electrocatalytically oxidizes methane, LPG, and other natural gas-based fuels to generate electricity. Since, the fundamental chemical reaction is exothermic, SOFC runs at extremely high temperatures, typically between 700°C-1,200°C. Conventional ceramic electrolytes are ineffective at these temperatures. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is therefore required as an electrolyte. Zirconium possesses properties that resemble those of titanium and a melting point of 1,852 °C. Zirconium, however, costs about twice as much per unit as usual ceramic-based electrolytes.
