  • Marknadsanalys Av Bränsleceller
    Marknadsanalys av bränsleceller Jon Sebastian Fjäder Examensarbete Plastteknik 25.05.2016 EXAMENSARBETE Arcada Utbildningsprogram: Plastteknik Identifikationsnummer: 14282 Författare: Jon Sebastian Fjäder Arbetets namn: Marknadsanalys av bränsleceller Handledare (Arcada): Björn Wiberg, amanuens och forskare Uppdragsgivare: Björn Wiberg, amanuens och forskare Abstrakt Examensarbetet handlar om bränslecellernas kommersiella marknad på en global nivå och deras jämförelse med andra energiteknologier. Syftet med arbetet är att få en inblick i marknadens olika aspekter om bränslecellernas applikationer som delats in i tre katego- rier. Kategorierna är stationära, transporterbara och bärbara applikationer. Frågeställning- arna för arbetet är bränslecellernas roll i samhället, hur marknaden har utvecklas för bränsleceller från år 2010 framåt och vilka är marknadssegmenten? Undersökningens in- formation reflekterar data från den kommersiella marknaden och är begränsad till åren 2010-2016. För att få en inblick i den globala energimarknaden har även andra energitek- nologier tagits upp. Dessa är fem stycken, två av dem baserar sig på fossila bränslen och tre på förnybar energi. De är olja, kärnkraft, kolkraft, vindkraft och solkraft. Resultaten från årssammanfattningarna, artiklarna, nyheterna och rapporterna från den globala mark- naden indikerar en ständig ökning inom alla applikationsområden för bränsleceller. I undersökningen beträffande stationära applikationer framkom det att de dominerar bräns- lecellsmarknaden inom alla områden som beaktats för att få information om branschen. För noggrannare information om ett enskilt företag tas resultat ur en undersökning om FuelCell Energy upp, där det bl.a. registrerats konkreta mängder av utsläpp som undvikts genom användningen av elektricitet från bränslecellskraftverk. Inom applikationer av- sedda för transport har tre olika fordon med olika bränslen jämförts med varandra samt det har tagits upp resultat om tankningsstationer för vätedrivna fordon.

  • Sustainable Energy in America Factbook Has Documented the Revolution Transforming How the US Produces, Delivers, and Consumes Energy
    2015 FACTBOOK February 2015 Sustainable Energy in America No portion of this document may be reproduced, scanned into an electronic system, distributed, publicly displayed or used as the basis of derivative works without attributing Bloomberg Finance L.P. and the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. For more information on terms of use, please contact [email protected]. Copyright and Disclaimer notice on the last page applies throughout. Developed in partnership with the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. Overview For the last three years, the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook has documented the revolution transforming how the US produces, delivers, and consumes energy. In 2014, that revolution continued, and the long-term implications of these changes are coming into sharper focus. To single out just a few tell-tale headlines from the hundreds of statistics presented in this report: over the 2007-14 period, US carbon emissions from the energy sector dropped 9%, US natural gas production rose 25%, and total US investment in clean energy (renewables and advanced grid, storage, and electrified transport technologies) totalled $386bn. This third edition of the Factbook presents the latest updates on those trends, with special emphasis on 2014 happenings. The year was a notable one not just in terms of progress achieved by some sustainable energy sectors but also in terms of two key developments in the broader context. The first is the growth of the US economy, which has increased by 8% since 2007 and has been gaining steam in the past few quarters. The Factbook shows that advances in sustainable energy have been concurrent with this growth, and have partially fuelled it.

  • The Business Case for Fuel Cells 2010
    September 2010 The Business Case for Fuel Cells: Why Top Companies are Purchasing Fuel Cells Today Authors and Acknowledgements This report was written and compiled by Sandra Curtin and Jennifer Gangi of Fuel Cells 2000, an activity of Breakthrough Technologies Institute in Washington, D.C., with assistance from Elizabeth Delmont. Support was provided by the U.S. Department of Energy‘s Fuel Cell Technologies Program. About this report In this report, we profile a select group nationally recognizable companies and corporations that are deploying or demonstrating fuel cells. These businesses are taking advantage of a fuel cell‘s unique benefits, especially for powering forklifts and providing combined heat and power to their stores and headquarters. This report focuses on companies installing or using fuel cells in warehouses, stores, manufacturing facilities, hotels, and backup power for telecommunications sites. Our list is by no means exhaustive – thousands of fuel cells have been installed around the world, for primary or backup power, for decades now. There are many other companies in the United States and worldwide using fuel cells that we didn‘t profile. Outside of the business world, fuel cells are being used by hospitals and nursing homes, universities, recreational facilities such as National Parks, zoos, aquariums and museums, as well as federal, state and local government agencies and facilities. In Asia and Europe, thousands of fuel cells have been installed at homes to provide heat and power and in the U.S., real estate developers are starting to incorporate fuel cells into their multi-family residential projects. There are many other applications for fuel cells which are also being researched, demonstrated and deployed by numerous organizations around the world.
