Fuel Cell Today `Market Survey:
Large stationary Applications 2006
Conclusion
The large stationary fuel cell sector has had a very buoyant year. There has
been no major fall out in terms of company closures or technology sell-outs and
all the big players are showing positive growth signs.
In terms of commercialisation we can increasingly see 2008 as a realistic date,
with the companies already starting to compete in an open market. Increasing
fuel options has opened up new market sectors for the units, including for direct
hydrogen units neatly avoid the chicken-and-egg question.
In the more medium term (the next 5-10 years) it will be interesting to watch the
transition from financially subsidised industry to a competitive one and we cannot
help but suspect that we will see the closure of a small number of the companies
currently active in our database.

So what about 2007? This really is one sector where big is beautiful. Larger and
larger plans for fuel cell power plants, as well as smaller (!), <200kW, for
distributed and back-up power for single installations. Also an increasing number
of orders will be announced, if true one press release from FuelCell Energy states
that they will be soon announcing 30-40 MW of new orders alone.
In Europe, with the launch of the 7th Framework Programme, we should see a
number of units going in, especially the HyCom (Hydrogen Communities) project.
Hopefully once the politics of the FP7 are sorted out then this could be a real
boost for the move to commercialisation of large stationary fuel cells in Europe.
Overall next year is already shaping up to be as busy and interesting as this year
was.
