Lagos — Fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) offer a new opportunity for the transport sector to significantly reduce emissions, with only water vapor being produced as a result of their operation. IDTechEx’s report, “ Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles 2025-2045: Markets, Technologies, Forecasts examines the technological aspects of fuel-cell vehicles and their functionality, along with key factors driving their adoption such as environmental advantages, high energy density, and reduced necessity for large batteries. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells Fuel-cell vehicles on the road today currently all use proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), which see hydrogen being pumped into a gas diffusion on the anode side, and oxygen on the cathode side. The use of platinum catalysts helps to strip hydrogen of its electrons in order to create protons, which can then travel through the proton exchange membrane. There, they can re...
