Sep 2011| EGY048B| BCC Publishing

Report Highlights

The global solid oxide fuel cell market in 2011 will be worth more than $380 million, up from $360 million in 2010. This will result in a $530 million global market in 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% between 2011 and 2016 under a consensus scenario.

Report Scope

This report discusses the North American, European, Far Eastern, and Rest-of-World market value.  Target markets are based on optimistic, pessimistic, and consensus alternatives.  This is compared to the conventional power generation target and peak shifting opportunities.  The current market is small, mainly limited to pilot projects or emerging niches.  By 2016, these pilots will be expanding into commercial implementations.  This 2016 market is also characterized in terms of optimistic, pessimistic, and consensus scenarios. 

SOFC applications are described and analyzed.  The following applications are considered:

  • Combined heat and power (CHP)
  • Exotic
  • Military
  • Portable product power
  • Remote power and auxiliary power  units (APUs)

SOFC companies are listed and detailed profiles prepared.
