The market for fuel cells
• Anywhere electricity is required?
• Anywhere fuel cells can make energy
including electricity cost-effectively.
• How much does electricity cost?
– To a London business 8p/kWh
– To front-line troops £2.50/kWh1
• Pollution and noise also have a ‘cost’
• Heat has a worth

Example 1
• ~ £1M buys a 300kW NG FC
• Add £350k for shipping & installation• Add maintenance, fuel and capital costs
• Provides electricity at ~ grid cost x 1.7
• Gives 250kW ‘free’ heat• Used effectively (heating or cooling) ~ parity
• The saving is the 30% emissions reduction

Example 2• Water company remote
monitoring
• Low DC load: fresh battery
every few days
• Mains connections ~ £200k
• £2.5k DMFC: now visit
every 100 days
• Expensive but very cost-
effective electricity
1,200Wh 30,000Wh

Example 3
• Customer in a Kensington Mews premises
• IT process has become mission-critical
• Standard solution – generator on roof
• Planning application refused – now what?
• 35kW fuel cell system: quiet, no emissions
• 3 times the price - but a solution

Largest fuel cell application:
Domestic CHP
• Efficient: combined heat and power
• Natural gas or LPG
• Smart-grid enabled
![Page 10: Fuel cells for stationary applications: where is the market?](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f1f26d1a28ab1c348b457d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Summary
• ‘Value’ of FC not just cost of electricity
• Electricity costs up and set to continue
• Efficiency is paramount
• Domestic CHP will be massive
