Clean Hydrogen Market Trends:

Government Policies and Regulations

According to the clean hydrogen market outlook, governments all over the world are pouring out comprehensive and embracing rules to cut emissions, and this pressure is driven by clean hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. Many countries have hydrogen in their energy plans and policies and incentives such as rewards for the development and incorporation of hydrogen technology are being enacted. For example, the European Union has created the European Hydrogen Strategy which aims to run the hydrogen economy in full operation by 2050. These programs consequently reduce the number of fossil fuels that are used in industry and transportation, and according to the clean hydrogen market forecast, are leading to the higher adoption of cleaner fuels.

Technological Advancements in Electrolysis

The efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the technology known as electrolysis which is used for producing hydrogen from water by utilizing electricity is increasing. The development of PEM (proton exchange membranes) and alkaline electrolyzers has made large-scale hydrogen production more economical. With the increasing popularity and affordability of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, the utilization of these energies in the electrolysis processes has resulted in a significant cost reduction of green hydrogen production. This makes clean hydrogen an improved way of energy storage and as a fuel for transportation, the power sector, and industrial processing, which in turn enhances the clean hydrogen market value. For instance, Hydrogen energy, a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, has a gravimetric density about seven times that of fossil fuels and faces challenges in transportation and storage. It is predicted that 35% of European vehicles will be hydrogen-powered by 2040. Globally, there are 401 hydrogen fuel stations, with 159 more planned, and 46 in the USA.

Increasing Investment from Private Sector

Private sector companies are currently looking actively and investing in clean hydrogen. Major energy companies, automobile manufacturers, and start-ups pay much to build up hydrogen infrastructure which incorporates production stations, storage systems, and fuel cells. This investment rise is brought about by the capability of hydrogen to assist greatly in the delivery of net-zero emissions goals as well as its applicability in numerous applications and the chances of forming economic prospects. These investments help in not just accelerating technological innovations but also manufacturing at a large scale, which in turn reduces costs and stimulates clean hydrogen market growth.

Clean Hydrogen Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on technology and end user.

Breakup by Technology:

Clean Hydrogen Market Report

  • Alkaline Electrolyzer
  • PEM Electrolyzer
  • SOE Electrolyzer
     

Alkaline electrolyzer accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the technology. This includes alkaline electrolyzer, PEM electrolyzer, and SOE electrolyzer. According to the report, Alkaline electrolyzer represented the largest segment.

As per the clean hydrogen market research report, alkaline electrolyzers technology is the dominant market segment. The conventional technology for hydrogen production, known as alkaline electrolysis, uses water electrolysis with an alkaline solution as an electrolyte. This is because being in the market for so long and having a large number of operational experiences have led to the widespread use of it. Alkaline type electrolyzers have a reputation for being reliable, durable, and scalable. They are therefore particularly ideal for industrial applications where large quantities of hydrogen are needed. They may demonstrate lower efficiencies compared to PEM electrolyzers but their simple design and lower cost of materials mean they are a desirable option for many projects. Moreover, continuous progression in technology with regards to enhancing its efficiency and reducing operational costs are the other factors that underpin this segment as the largest in the clean hydrogen market.

Breakup by End User:

  • Transport
  • Power Generation
  • Industrial
  • Others
     

Transport holds the largest share of the industry

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the end user have also been provided in the report. This includes transport, power generation, industrial, and others. According to the report, transport accounted for the largest market share.

According to the clean hydrogen market segmentation, transport is the largest segment, followed by the growing application of hydrogen gas-powered vehicles (HGV). The Carbon emissions and hydrocarbon consumption reduction actions undertaken by governments, as well as manufacturers, are promoting the development of hydrogen infrastructure with the installation of refueling stations. Hydrogen vehicles, such as buses, trucks, and passenger cars, have the advantage of fast refueling time and longer ranges thus they are very suitable for heavy-duty and long-haul trips as compared to electric vehicles which require charging. Both large automobile producers and start-ups invest in the generation of hydrogen vehicles and some countries have even started including hydrogen trains and maritime vessels to this diversity. This push towards hydrogen as a fuel in transport is fueled by policy incentives, public-private collaborations, and international cooperation toward formulating a sustainable hydrogen economy, thus the transport sector becomes a key driver of the hydrogen market development.
