Fuel cell technologies have the potential to make a major impact on reducing carbon dioxide emissions and accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy in the UK.
The report's core finding highlights that the industry is poised at a key development stage and that, if investment is made now, considerable potential exists for the UK to become a significant player in the world fuel cell market.
Tom Delay, Chief Executive of the Carbon Trust said: "Fuel cell technologies represent a significant growth area for the UK. As the demand for low carbon alternatives increases - driven by both commercial forces and government legislation - we have the opportunity to develop the UK as a base for manufacture and deployment of fuel cell technologies. We must act now if we are to make the most of this commercial opportunity."
