According to industry forecasts from the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), the UK will need 14GW of fuel cell stack production and 400,000 high-pressure carbon fibre tanks annually to meet vehicle production demands by 2035. The market expects that there could be as many as three million fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) globally by 2030. The facility at Royston will deploy state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to scale up the production of fuel cell components to meet customer demand. The site could be expanded in the future, almost tripling potential capacity by using the decommissioned Clean Air production facility to produce both fuel cell and green hydrogen components.
