Fuel cell is very expensive… Fuel cell is opposite of electrolyser requiring a lot of rare earth elements. and at the moment because the entire Fuel cell needs to be imported.
So, In spite of being 100 years technology , Fuel cell has not been able to make a dent world over. But now onwards it should make – now that the world is focussing on Green hydrogen. Fuel cell cost should come down as more and more people would go for R&,D and cost reduction.
Today because of expensive fuel cell which needs to be imported , we are now looking for BESS for integrating renewable energy with Grid rather than Renewable energy- Electrolyser-Green hydrogen – Fuel cell route.
Regarding Tata Leyland buses – Fuel cell is only a pilot trial as the minister wanted. But Hydrogen IC Bus is also already running sponsored by Reliance and few others…I had posted 6 months back under Green hydrogen thread on IC hydrogen bus launch.
As of now, if we have to go for mass production in huge number , IC Hydrogen is more practicable than fuel cell. Anti-corrosion , material…our metallurgists are experts …so we can …so Atma nirbhar Bharat …
and since It is IC engine, serviceability not an issue – no special skill required. existing technicians can handle piston , connecting rod , crankshaft, cam shaft etc etc.
Yes, Toyota & Suzuki Maruti has marketing arrangment for promoting each other’s products …that include Hybrids Hydrogen
