Abstract

The forecast zenith of oil, the environmental regulations and the price of oil have encouraged the search for new efficient and not-so-polluting energy-producing devices. Undoubtedly, fuel batteries are devices that comply with these characteristics since they are more efficient than most combustion machines and generate fewer emissions. Thanks to these advantages, the fuel batteries market has been widening its scope. This article reviews the potential market for these batteries and the challenges faced by their inventors in order to position them in the market. The article it also mentions some of the commercially available products and international activities related to their development.
