Webinar: Materials Trends for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Presenter: Dr Conor O'Brien, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx
Date: Thursday 11th December 2025
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are a key platform technology in global decarbonisation, converting hydrogen into electricity with only water as a byproduct. Through ongoing advancements in these core materials and components, PEM fuel cells are becoming increasingly cost-effective, durable, and scalable, strengthening their role in the clean energy transition.
IDTechEx extensively covers all aspects of the hydrogen economy and in their latest report, "Materials for PEM Fuel Cells 2026-2036: Technologies, Markets, Players", provides a critical independent view of the components used in PEM fuel cells. In this thirty-minute webinar, Dr Conor O'Brien, a Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx will provide:
· An introduction to PEM fuel cells, including the working principle.
· An overview of the key applications driving growth of the market for PEM fuel cells.
· A breakdown of the forecast market value in 2036 segmented by fuel cell component.
· Detailed discussion of the major materials trends in the sector for the core components.
Choose your preferred time zone - the webinar runs three times during the day.
