Report Code: UC 6032 Nov, 2024, by marketsandmarkets.com

The hydrogen derived from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas is called gray hydrogen. Around 95% of the hydrogen produced today is gray hydrogen, the least renewable form of hydrogen. Gray hydrogen is relatively inexpensive and viewed as a transition or bridging alternative as the world moves away from fossil fuels.

The Gray hydrogen market, based on technology, is categorized into steam methane reforming (SMR), partial oxidation (POX), and coal gasification. Steam methane reforming is the most mature technique for hydrogen production on a large scale. In this process, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small quantity of carbon dioxide are produced when methane combines with steam at pressures ranging from 3 bars to 25 bars (1 bar = 14.5 psi). Partial oxidation (POX) is faster than steam methane reforming. It involves the combustion of feedstock with oxygen fed below the level required for complete oxidation (sub-stoichiometric). Coal gasification is the process of thermochemical conversion of coal into gaseous products like hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Coal is converted to synthesis gas in the presence of steam and oxygen or air at high temperatures and pressures.

Based on generation and delivery mode, the gray hydrogen market can be segmented into two major categories: captive and merchant. Hydrogen produced intentionally for on-site consumption is called captive hydrogen. Such hydrogen is primarily produced and utilized by large-scale industries, such as petroleum refineries, fuel cells, ammonia and methanol production plants, and electronics. On the other hand, merchant hydrogen is produced, transported, and sold as an industrial gas to end-users through pipelines and cylinder delivery. Merchant hydrogen can be further categorized by delivery mode into large on-site plant & pipeline, bulk & cylinder (gaseous form), bulk (liquid form), and small on-site.

 

Furthermore, the gray hydrogen market is fragmented based on application, into automotive & transportation, refinery, ammonia production, methanol production, power generation, and others. The automotive & transportation industry is showcasing a faster rate of adoption of hydrogen, as its focus on decarbonization increases. Hydrogen is also finding increasing usage in power generation, petrochemical, and refining industries as a cleaner alternative to polluting conventional fuels.

The global gray hydrogen management market can be segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa. The increasing adoption of fuel cell-based electric vehicles across Asia, North America, and Europe is driving the demand for gray hydrogen in these regions. The US Department of Energy suggests that 10 million metric tons of hydrogen is produced annually in the US, with most of it finding application in the refining and ammonia production industries. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the oil refining and chemicals industry are the largest consumers of hydrogen today. An increase in the number of petrochemical and refinery projects in these regions is expected to propel the demand for hydrogen fuel in the near future.

The major players in the gray hydrogen market are Linde Plc (UK), Air Liquide (France), Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (US), Uniper SE (Germany), Siemens Energy (Germany), Cummins (US), Parker Hannifin (US), BASF (Germany), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan), Atlas Copco (Sweden), Johnson Matthey (UK), Reliance Industries Limited (India), BayoTech, Inc. (US), and Messer (Germany).
