SOFC Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Market

14

As the cost of batteries reduces to below USD $200/kWhr, current market forecasts suggest that Electric Vehicles

will gain a dominant market share (>35%) of all vehicles sold by 2040. If SOFC fuel cells are used as range

extenders in 5% of the market, this could drive demand to > 1.5million vehicles per year or USD 5 billion/year

15

SOFC fuel cells in data centres support the long term architecture towards DC powered data centres by

generating DC power at the point of use. Data centres already consume 3% of global electrical generation

capacity and growth rates are 4-10% per year. Continued reliance on grid capacity is not realistic.

Data Centre Market

Data Centre Market

16

A typical data centre invests a significant amount of capital and floorspace into the provisioning of power

conversion, storage and power distribution to the server loads. To mitigate the grid power interruptions, diesel

generators and batteries are installed to improve the grid reliability from 99.9% to the data center requirement of

99.999% availability

17

Annual investment in Datacentres exceeds USD $180 billion. Power, power distribution and cooling comprises

and estimated 30% of the total investment or USD$55 billion annually. Fuel cell SOFC systems could replace

some of this infrastructure while offering a more efficient operating cost to the adopter.
