固定式小型燃料电池市场

Abstract

This Energy Insights report examines the market for small stationary fuel cells, ranging in size from 1kW to 20kW. The market for small stationary fuel cell applications continues to grow steadily in 2006, albeit slowly. Sustained governmental support and incentives, greenhouse gas mandate-induced demand, increased partnership and collaboration, technology dynamism, and the prospect of formalized product standards are, however, bolstering segment activity while reigniting investments. After evaluating the macrolevel factors affecting the small fuel cell sector, this report profiles 12 leading manufacturers and developers.

According to Nadav Enbar, research analyst, Energy Insights, "Government activity remains the primary demand driver of small fuel cell applications. However, a recent uptick in private investment is helping to produce incremental technology advances. As a result, the industry is becoming a more viable residential CHP and backup power solution."
