北米のスカンジウム市場の将来予測 (2031年まで) - 地域別分析：誘導体別、用途別

北米のスカンジウム市場は、2023年に8,902万米ドルと評価され、2031年には6億8,646万米ドルに達すると予測され、2023年から2031年にかけて29.1%のCAGRを記録すると予測されています。

固体酸化物燃料電池の採用増加が北米のスカンジウム市場を牽引

高効率と低排出ガスで知られる固体酸化物燃料電池 (SOFC) は、据置型発電、輸送、ポータブル電子機器などさまざまな分野で、従来の発電技術に代わる有望な選択肢として支持を集めています。スカンジウムは、特にスカンジウム安定化ジルコニア (ScSZ) の形で、SOFC技術において極めて重要な役割を果たしています。これらのセルの電解質として使用されるScSZは、高温でのイオン伝導性を向上させ、セル全体での効率的なイオン輸送を可能にし、全体的な性能を向上させる。その結果、エネルギー変換効率が向上し、耐久性も強化されるため、SOFCは広く商業用や産業用のアプリケーションとしてより魅力的なものとなります。

環境問題への懸念と温室効果ガス排出削減の規制圧力に起因するクリーンエネルギーへの需要の急増が、SOFCの採用を世界的に促進しています。SOFCは炭化水素を燃料とする場合、CO2を発生させるが、燃焼をベースとするシステムよりもはるかにクリーンな燃料処理を行うため、低排出デバイスとして位置づけられています。2000年、米国エネルギー省は、天然ガスや石炭由来の合成燃料を用いた小型・モジュール規模の大規模発電向けに、低コストで高効率、かつ環境に優しいSOFC技術を開発するため、SOFCプログラムを開始しました。また、2020年9月、米国エネルギー省 (DOE) は、資金調達機会公示 (FOA) に基づき、12の小規模固体酸化物形燃料電池システムおよびハイブリッド電解槽技術開発プロジェクトに約3,400万米ドルの資金を提供することを発表しました。脱炭素化を目指す産業界では、信頼性が高く持続可能な発電オプションとしてSOFCを選択するケースが増えています。このように、高性能SOFCの製造においてScSZが依然として重要な構成要素であるため、SOFCの普及がスカンジウムの需要を直接促進しています。

Increasing Adoption of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Drives North America Scandium Market

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), known for their high efficiency and low emissions, are gaining traction as a promising alternative to conventional power generation technologies in various sectors, including stationary power generation, transportation, and portable electronics. Scandium plays a pivotal role in SOFC technology, particularly in the form of scandium-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ). Used as an electrolyte in these cells, ScSZ improves ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures, enabling efficient ion transport across the cell and enhancing overall performance. This results in higher energy conversion efficiencies and enhanced durability, making SOFCs more attractive for widespread commercial and industrial applications.

The surging demand for clean energy owing to environmental concerns and regulatory pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is fueling the adoption of SOFCs worldwide. SOFCs, when operated with a hydrocarbon fuel source, generate CO2, but they carry out much cleaner processing of fuels than combustion-based systems, positioning themselves in low-emission devices. In 2000, the US Department of Energy initiated the SOFC Program to develop low-cost, highly efficient, environmentally friendly SOFC technology for smaller, modular-scale, large-scale power generation from natural gas or coal-derived synthesis. In addition, in September 2020, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the funding of approximately US$ 34 million for 12 Small-Scale Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems and Hybrid Electrolyzer Technology Development projects under the funding opportunity announcement (FOA). Industries seeking to decarbonize their operations are increasingly opting for SOFCs as a reliable and sustainable power generation option. Thus, an upsurge in SOFC deployment is directly driving the demand for scandium, as ScSZ remains a critical component in the fabrication of high-performance SOFCs.

North America Scandium Market Overview

Scandium is one of the rare earth metals with unique properties. The scandium market in North America is characterized by the increasing demand for this metal in various industrial sectors and ongoing efforts to develop its domestic sources to reinforce the supply chain. Scandium has garnered significant attention in North America due to its potential applications in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, clean energy, and defense industries. Moreover, the burgeoning emphasis on technological innovation, sustainability, and economic development in the region has increased interest in this metal. Governments, industry stakeholders, and research institutions in North America are actively exploring opportunities to develop domestic scandium resources, enhance extraction technologies, and promote scandium-based industries with an aim to lower dependency on foreign sources. In May 2022, Rio Tinto completed the commissioning of the first module of the commercial-scale demonstration plant at its Rio Tinto Fer et Titane (RTFT) metallurgical complex in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, Canada. The plant has produced the first batch of high-purity scandium oxide, positioning itself as the first North American producer of scandium to be used in aluminum alloys and solid oxide fuel cells.

The aerospace & defense sectors in North American countries generate a significant demand for scandium, wherein scandium-containing alloys are procured significantly for their lightweight and high-strength properties. These alloys are used in manufacturing aircraft components, missile systems, and military equipment, as they aid in enhanced performance, fuel efficiency, and durability. Additionally, the automotive sector in North America is increasingly adopting scandium-aluminum alloys to produce lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles.
