How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) Market?
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various industries worldwide, including the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market. Here are some key observations regarding the impact of COVID-19 on this market:
The pandemic initially had a negative impact on the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market. The global lockdowns and restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the virus resulted in disruptions in the supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and their components. Production slowdowns, factory closures, and logistic challenges led to delays in vehicle deliveries and hindered market growth.
The reduced economic activity and uncertainty caused by the pandemic affected consumer purchasing behaviour, leading to a decline in demand for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The high cost of these vehicles compared to conventional alternatives further limited their market penetration during the challenging economic conditions.
However, the pandemic also highlighted the importance of sustainable transportation and the need for zero-emission vehicles to combat climate change. Governments and organizations increasingly recognized the role of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in achieving decarbonization goals and promoting green recovery. This recognition resulted in various stimulus packages, incentives, and policy support to encourage the adoption and development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

What are the Current Market Drivers?
Increasing Government Support and Investments for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
The increasing government support and investments for hydrogen fuel cell technology are major drivers for the growth and development of the industry. Governments around the world are recognizing the potential of hydrogen fuel cells as a key solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving their climate targets. As a result, they are committing significant resources towards the development of the necessary infrastructure, regulations, and incentives to support the growth of the industry.
For example, the European Union recently announced its ambitious "Fit for 55" package, which includes a series of measures to reduce emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. One of the key elements of this package is a proposal to promote the production and use of clean hydrogen across the EU, with a target of 40 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolysers by 2030. The EU has also committed €2 billion in funding for clean hydrogen projects as part of its Innovation Fund.
In addition, many national governments are also increasing their support for hydrogen fuel cell technology. For example, the Japanese government has set a target of achieving 800,000 fuel cell vehicles and 900 hydrogen refuelling stations by 2030, while the Chinese government is aiming to have 1 million fuel cell vehicles on the road by 2030.
Growing Demand for Alternative Energy Sources and Cleaner Transportation Solutions
The increasing demand for alternative energy sources and cleaner transportation solutions is a significant market driver for the hydrogen fuel cell industry. With the growing awareness of climate change and the need for sustainable solutions, governments, businesses, and consumers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
Hydrogen fuel cell technology provides a promising solution as it offers a zero-emissions alternative to traditional fossil fuel vehicles. This technology has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly and improve air quality, making it an attractive option for industries such as transportation, logistics, and manufacturing.
Furthermore, many countries and regions have set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions, with some even aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. As a result, governments are increasingly investing in clean energy technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell technology, to achieve these targets. This investment creates opportunities for the hydrogen fuel cell industry to grow and expand.

Where are the Market Opportunities?
The Potential to Develop and Expand the Hydrogen Fuelling Infrastructure
The potential to develop and expand the hydrogen fuelling infrastructure presents a significant market opportunity for both existing and new players in the industry. The demand for hydrogen fuelling infrastructure is growing as more hydrogen fuel cell vehicles enter the market. This infrastructure includes hydrogen fuelling stations, pipelines, storage facilities, and transportation equipment.
One example of a company taking advantage of this market opportunity is Air Liquide, a global supplier of industrial gases and hydrogen fuelling infrastructure. Air Liquide has been investing heavily in the development of hydrogen fuelling stations, particularly in Europe and the United States. In 2021, Air Liquide announced plans to expand its network of hydrogen fuelling stations in Europe, with a target of having 1,000 stations by 2030.
Another recent development in the expansion of the hydrogen fuelling infrastructure is the formation of the Hydrogen Council's Hydrogen for Climate Action initiative. This initiative is a collaboration between industry leaders and governments to accelerate the development and deployment of hydrogen infrastructure around the world. The initiative aims to create a framework for public-private partnerships and investment in hydrogen infrastructure, with a goal of scaling up production, distribution, and use of hydrogen.
The Potential for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology to Play a Role in the Decarbonization of the Shipping and Aviation Industries
The shipping and aviation industries are major contributors to global carbon emissions, accounting for approximately 3% and 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions, respectively. As the world continues to move towards decarbonization, there is an increasing need to find alternatives to fossil fuels in these industries. Hydrogen fuel cell technology has the potential to play a significant role in the decarbonization of these industries.
In the shipping industry, hydrogen fuel cells can be used to power auxiliary systems on board ships, as well as provide propulsion. For example, a number of projects are underway to develop hydrogen-powered ferries, including the HySeas III project, which is developing a hydrogen-powered ferry for use in Scotland. Additionally, companies such as Toyota and Toshiba have announced plans to develop hydrogen fuel cell systems for use in maritime vessels.
