THE PROBLEM

The technology used to generate energy and meet human needs is something as old as 80%
day. Attention has however sprung for sources of energy from non-renewable to Of fall related fatalities occur
renewable sources of energy. The usage of fossil fuels for the generation of electricity in low- and middle- income
has led to the rapid depletion of these reserves and pushed them to the brink of countries
extinction, this problem is further compounded by the severe effects it has on the
environment. The continuous usage of these sources has led to an increase in greenhouse
gases and has a further domino effect on the climate and landscape of the planet. 37.3
These call for rapid change in the energy manufacturing industry and look toward other
sources of energy as energy demand escalates across the globe. Today not many
countries are equipped to meet this demand and tackle these issues as renewable

Hydrogen reacts with oxygen through a battery-like electrochemical cell to produce
21.5% electricity, water, and a small amount of heat. There are many different types of fuel cells
that are available and used for a wide variety of applications. Small fuel cells can power

over 60 in 2050 reactors, provide backup power, and give emergency power to buildings, and provide
electricity to far off locations. After proper dialogue, a specific wattage could be established,
allowing uniform voltage across the region, and helping countries import and export energy.
Hydrogen is transported from the manufacturing site to site of usage via pipelines and
transported by cryogenic liquid tankers or gas trailers. They are already being used in the
US and other north American countries.

COMPETITION
Overall, there is increased competition in the market with our top competitors being

Linde- The Company is established globally and has built 200 hydrogen refueling stations and has about 90
electrolysis facilities worldwide, the company has primarily focused on production of yellow and green hydrogen
but plans to enter the energy industry by 2028.
Shell PLC- Shell has been one of the industries to have moved on hydrogen business much before the initial trends of
market and has seized a significant market size. It has been producing significant amount of energy producing
almost 1400 tons of hydrogen and plans to scale it even further by increasing their thorough energy output by almost
10 times by the year 2028.
These companies have been operating in the hydrogen business for a couple of years and have the early mover
advantage though the market remains relatively untapped and has huge potential for hydrogen cells being
effectively used.
