Hydrogen fuel cell and drone technologies are converging as drone manufacturers look for the most cost-effective and efficient way to power them. With drones used increasingly in a broad range of industries, the benefits of hydrogen fuel cells include fewer breakdowns compared to internal combustion engines, long-endurance capabilities, lower noise and heat levels, less vibration, great stability and clean power. "Fuel cell technology is going to be one of the keys to unlocking that market in a way that we can't do today," said Jones, professor of law and robotics at the University of Windsor. PwC recently valued the emerging global market for business services using drones at more than CAD165bn.
