According to the report, titled The Business Case for Fuel Cells 2016, The reason for the jump is that more companies are recognizing the benefits of using fuel cells that include clean, reliable, on-demand power generation; fuel flexibility with the ability to use pure hydrogen, natural gas or renewable biogas; silent operation; and scalability. This makes fuel cells ideal for a range of applications.<\/p>\n

Fuel cell sales increases have been reported in such industries as stationary and backup power and material handling due to value in improved operational efficiency and cost savings.<\/p>\n

The report publishes a massive list of companies in a variety of industries including retail; grocers, food, and logistics; industrial and consumer products; technology and telecommunications; financial services; real estate; healthcare and biotechnology, entertainment and sports; hotels; transportation; and utilities.<\/p>\n

fuel cells offers electricity using an electrochemical reaction, not combustion, and, depending on the fuel source, produces zero or near-zero polluting emissions. Fuel cells offer a unique combination of proven benefits that make them ideally suited for a number of applications.<\/p>\n

For example, benefits identified for the material handling industry include:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Zero emissions
\n\u00b7 Long runtime
\n\u00b7 Minutes to refuel
\n\u00b7 Constant power
\n\u00b7 Cold storage operation
\n\u00b7 Eliminates need for battery charging rooms
\n\u00b7 Increased worker productivity
\n\u00b7 Lower operational costs.<\/p>\n

Moreover, there is a wide range of benefits for stationary applications as well including:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Primary or backup power source
\n\u00b7 Operates in tandem or independent of electric grid
\n\u00b7 High efficiency
\n\u00b7 Low to zero emissions
\n\u00b7 Fuel flexible as a conventional or renewable fuels
\n\u00b7 Rugged and quiet
\n\u00b7 Operates in water balance
\n\u00b7 Modular and scalable<\/p>\n
