FUEL CELL ATTRACTIVENESS FOR IRAN CAR INDUSTRY VERSUS ITS ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Today, efficient use of non-regenerative energy (Fossil Fuel) and environment protection are two major challenges of all societies. The nonpolluting and other advantages of fuel cell such as its application in different sectors and industries make this technology an ideal choice for overcoming energy and environmental crises. This paper evaluates the attractiveness of fuel cell technology for Iran car industry in comparison with other current and emerging technologies in the next decade. Fuel cell and its alternative technologies have been compared based on technical, economical, environmental, technological, social, cultural and political criteria. For this purpose, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology is used. The comparison of alternative technologies has revealed that fuel cell is the most attractive technology from consumer, car manufacturer and government point of view.
