Fuel Cells - An Overview of Their Green Value and Readiness Levels

With CO2, nitrous oxides, and methane emissions data across the African continent, this review paper quantitatively describes the health, environmental, and mortality (expressed as avoidable deaths in thousands per year) effects that the combustion of fossil fuels generates. As a solution, this research study goes further to describe, with visual aids, the technology of fuel cells, their attractive green value, the types of fuel cells including low-temperature and high-temperature fuel cells (LTFC & HTFC) that enable different applications, as well as their levels of commercialization readiness.
