Market DynamicsCompanies are investing in technological development to manufacture alternative low-carbon propulsion systems in response to strict regulatory policies. As a result, more significant investment is being made in the development of alternative propulsion systems, such as fuel cells, for marine vessels, which is expected to push the growth of the industry during the forecast period.
However, one of the significant restrictions on the market is the design of propulsion systems. The propulsion systems faced several limitations related to the design and technical problems of combustion systems, generators, batteries, and electric motors in terms of weight, charge rate, battery life, and size. The development of an alternative propulsion system for marine vessels depends on several parameters, such as power, emissions, cost, and energy efficiency. It is exceedingly difficult to drive a vessel on its own on renewable propulsion systems, as the energy required by marine vessels is enormous. In addition, high capital costs and a short lifespan of fuel cell stacks are expected to hamper the growth of the market.
Additionally, the evolution of hydrogen as a marine fuel and the increase in the price of bunker fuel oil are recent trends in the market for fuel cells for marine vessels. The advantage of hydrogen fuel is that it helps to reduce noise, vibration, and NOx formation. Furthermore, in recent years, the marine industry has made significant investments in the application of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
