The France Fuel Cell Market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand and expanding production capacities of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Fuel cells are the cells that create power through a system that doesn't include combustion. These cells change the chemical energy in a hydrogen-rich fuel to power through an electrolytic process. This means fuel cells produce relatively fewer contaminations compared to conventional, combustion-based power generation technologies. Further, they are fuel adaptable, highly proficient, and operate at low noise levels. They fill in as an efficient option to traditional power generation technologies, offering further reliability and environmental advantages.
The government of France revealed a new plan for the deployment of renewable, decarbonized hydrogen energy in the country in June 2018. The government plans to increment 100 hydrogen filling stations by 2023. By 2028, the number is expected to increment between 400 and 1000 hydrogen filling stations.
The European Union is designed to essentially reduce GHG emissions from the transportation area. Subsequently, the government has recognized the implementation of innovative technologies, such as fuel cells (primarily PEMFC), as a way to meet these objectives. This, in turn, is expected to provide a significant opportunity for the fuel cell manufacturers involved in the market in the near future.
