Abstract

Fuel cells were invented more than 180 years ago. Intensive development for the space program in the 1960s was followed by even more intensive development in automotive applications since the 1990s. After almost every car manufacturer have had at least one prototype by the turn of the century, currently there are only two fuel cell car models available on the market. Is there a future for fuel cells for transportation? The future of fuel cells, including the fuel cells for transportation, is tightly related to the energy transition that is already taking place. In such a transition, hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources would enable the decarbonization of otherwise hard-to-decarbonize sectors. Fuel cells are the technology that will enable hydrogen’s use in transportation. Technology is ready, and political decisions have been made, so in the next decades, fuel cells will be widely used in transportation—not only in automobiles, but also in delivery vehicles, trucks, buses, coaches, trains, and even ships and airplanes.
