Direct methanol fuel cells are a type of proton-exchange fuel cell that uses methanol for energy. Direct methanol fuel cells convert methanol directly into electricity and are primarily designed for portable power applications. The direct methanol fuel cell operates in the same way that proton-exchange membrane fuel cells do. Liquid methanol has a larger volumetric specific energy density than gaseous hydrogen, resulting in significant advantages. Methanol is often mixed with water and fed directly to catalytic components. Since this fuel cell uses methanol as fuel, there are no storage difficulties because methanol has a higher energy density, making it easy to carry and supply as demanded. Direct methanol fuel cells are of significance for powering portable electronic devices such as laptop computers and battery chargers. Methanol has a higher energy density than hydrogen, making it an ideal fuel for portable electronics. However, the costly nature of fuel cells could restrict market growth.

 

The bipolar plates segment has the biggest share of the market during the projection period.

Based on components, the direct methanol fuel cells market is divided into bipolar plates, current collectors, catalyst, and membranes. Among these, the bipolar plates segment has the biggest share of the market during the projection period. Bipolar plates are an important component of hydrogen fuel cells and direct methanol fuel cells. While the fuel cells, stacked together, are the most significant portion of the fuel cell system, the plates, as integrated components of the cells, serve a number of critical activities. They transport reactant gases, carry current from the membrane electrode assembly to the end plates, regulate temperature and water, and separate individual cells.

 

The portable segment is the most dominant category during the predicted period.

Based on application, the direct methanol fuel cells market is classified into portable, transportation, and stationary. Among these, the portable segment is the most dominant category during the predicted period. Direct methanol fuel cells are a promising source of power in future portable devices. This is owing to the potential for a far higher gravimetric energy density of more than 1300 Wh/kg, which is approximately ten times that of traditional lithium-ion batteries. This potential energy density is mostly due to the high chemical capacity of the methanol fuel. Furthermore, the higher energy density of these fuel cells when compared to rechargeable batteries allows for longer conversations and promotes consumer demand, which is advantageous. Other benefits, such as potential refilling, are critical to the expansion of the portable electronic device sector.

 

Asia-Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the direct methanol fuel cells market over the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region's prominent position in the global direct menthol fuel cell market can be attributed to increased investments in advanced fuel cell technologies by regional countries such as South Korea and Japan. Other major factors driving the expansion of the worldwide direct menthol fuel cell market in the Asia Pacific region include local governments' increasing efforts to reduce their reliance on nuclear energy, a shift toward sustainable energy, and increased investments in fuel cells to provide emergency power for regional telecommunication towers.

 

Europe is predicted to grow at the fastest pace in the direct methanol fuel cells market during the projected timeframe. The growing use of clean energy sources has created attractive market opportunities across Europe. For context, SFC Energy AG, one of the leading manufacturers of direct methanol fuel cells, joined the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance on April 8, 2021, with the goal of verifying a variety of approaches and activities to decarbonize the EU economy.

 

Major vendors in the direct methanol fuel cells market include Blue World Technologies, Panasonic Corporation, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, Advent Technologies, Roland Gumpert, MeOH Power, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Trading, Inc., SFC Energy AG, DMFC Corporation, Antig Technology Co. Ltd, Treadstone Technologies Inc, Oorja Protonics, and Others
