Driven by the unrelenting rise in petroleum and fossil fuel prices, rising concerns over environmental pollution, and the need for clean energy generation technologies, the world solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) market is projected to reach $443 million by the year 2010. Liberalization of the retail electricity industry, utility infrastructure restructuring, and changing public environmental policies are all expected to offer expanded market opportunities for SOFCs. The need for distributed power, and the expensiveness of upgrading the traditional transmission and distribution systems is additionally expected to offer a business case for the SOFC technology.
