Report Scope
This report will cover solid oxide fuel cells used in transport applications as well as stationary power generation and storage applications. Target markets are based on optimistic, pessimistic and consensus alternatives, which are compared to the conventional power generation target and peak shifting opportunities. The current market is emerging with pre-commercial demos and subsidized pilot projects as well as fast-growing niche markets that are quickly becoming established specialty markets.
Over the next five years, these pilots will be expanding into commercial implementations. The 2026 market is also characterized with recent developments in the industry and government initiatives across the globe.
SOFC applications are described and analyzed. The following applications are considered:
- Combined heat and power (CHP).
- Power generation (stationary power units, remote power, and auxiliary power units [APUs]).
- Portable product power.
- Exotic (solid oxide electrolyzer cells and fuel cell hybrids).
Geographical scope of the report covers North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Rest of the World.
SOFC companies are listed, and their detailed profiles are discussed in the Company Profiles chapter.
