Research analysis on the global defense fuel cells market identifies the benefit such as improved performance with high torque and low revolutions as one of the primary factors that will have a positive impact on the market’s growth. Complete fuel combustion is not carried out by conventional vehicles and this results in reduction in the vehicle’s efficiency. Diesel engines utilize the fuel present in the vehicle to generate torque, leading to a lower number of revolutions when compared to vehicles that operate on fuel cell technology. Fuel cells provide large amount of torque at less revolutions and this subsequently helps in increasing the performance of the vehicle. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of almost 9% by 2021.
The emergence of formira hydrogen-on-demand technology will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the coming years. Formira hydrogen-on-demand technology synthesizes hydrogen from a high-energy-dense solution. Hydrogen is generated when the formic acid flows from the tank to the reformer. The hydrogen is not stored at any stage and is instantly consumed. This makes it safer and less prone to fire. Fuel cells provide continuous charge to the battery and enable the system to run without interruption. This technology will find significance in drones and unmanned ground robots and in commercial applications, which will in turn, fuel the growth prospects of the defense fuel cells market.
