Hydrogen Fuel Cells Are Becoming Too Big to Ignore

More advantages of hydrogen over batteries
For vehicles or materials handling, the shorter refill times are an advantage over batteries, but in energy storage, hydrogen holds a massive advantage. Batteries are great at storing a limited amount of energy for minutes or hours, but they aren't good for storage on a massive level. With enough storage tanks, a hydrogen-producing station could produce clean hydrogen and store it for weeks or months at a time. This dynamic gives energy storage options to maximize value creation and potentially eliminate the intermittency challenge with renewable energy. The fuel cell market becoming a multibillion-dollar market means costs will likely start coming down, and eventually, energy storage using hydrogen could be an economical reality.



Hydrogen has a big upside
Electric vehicles have been all the rage for a couple of years now, but when we look out decades, I think there's far greater upside for fuel cells. At just $2.2 billion in the U.S., it's still a small market, but it's growing rapidly, and with so many potential uses, fuel cells will likely lower costs and become more attractive in the multitrillion-dollar energy market.
