A better use for this technology in the west would probably be inside of a powerplant, because generating power from hydrogen is probably cheaper in a large scale power plant than using a fuel cell.

My guess it's pretty hard to deploy new technologies inside of powerplants. It takes years of testing, larger sums of money, and very long sales cycles.

So it makes more sense to develop a grid-less version for the developing world, that would serve both as a commercial product and as a proof of concept for the technology, and would take much less time and money to deploy.
