Research on the Current Situation and Development of Fuel Cell Powered Transportation

Traditional oil consumed transportation including vehicles and vessel produces green house gases, which is not environmentally-friendly. As a new type of energy-consumed unit, the fuel cell is popular due to its less emission level, high efficiency and low noise. This paper introduces the principle...

Description
Summary:Traditional oil consumed transportation including vehicles and vessel produces green house gases, which is not environmentally-friendly. As a new type of energy-consumed unit, the fuel cell is popular due to its less emission level, high efficiency and low noise. This paper introduces the principle and characteristics of fuel cell, with further introduction to the application status of fuel cell system in the vehicle and maritime industry. Further aspects that need to be improved will be discussed and analyzed, in order to promote fuel cell system in transportation area in a large scale. It can be clearly seen that various factors (infrastructure, cost, durability, etc.) should be considered in the near future.
