[139 Pages Report] The global hydrogen energy storage market is projected to reach USD 18.2 billion by 2024 from an estimated USD 13.8 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the increase in use of stored hydrogen for stationary and backup power application. In addition to this, the demand for hydrogen is also generated from the chemical industry where hydrogen is used in the processes of producing ammonia and methanol.
The hydrogen energy storage market is segmented, by state, into liquid, gas, and solid. The gas segment is projected to hold the largest market share by 2024. Storing hydrogen as a gas via compression is the easiest and cost-effective method compared with liquefaction of hydrogen, which is the reason for its high demand in the hydrogen energy storage market globally.
The hydrogen energy storage market, by storage technology, is segmented into compression, liquefaction, and material-based. Compression is the most preferred technology for storing hydrogen. Hydrogen in the compressed mode is widely used in onboard mobile applications such as vehicles for road transportation, stationary application for dispensing hydrogen at refueling stations, and at sites for stationary power generation.
Hydrogen energy storage market has been categorized, based on end-user into industrial, commercial, and utilities. Utilities are expected to be the fastest-growing as the demand for power generation increases using renewable energy sources is likely to generate the need for hydrogen energy storage in the utility segment.
In this report, the hydrogen energy storage market has been analyzed for five regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. North America is estimated to be the largest market from 2019 to 2024. Rise in fuel cell applications, tight regulations about emission control, and use of cleaner fuels is the major driving factor the growth of hydrogen energy storage market. US is the largest market in North America for hydrogen energy storage as the demand for hydrogen increases in oil refineries and chemical industries.
The major players in the hydrogen energy storage market are Air Liquide (France), Linde (UK), Air Products and Chemicals (US), ITM Power (UK), Hydrogenics (Canada), Worthington Industries (US), Chart Industries (US), Hexagon Composites (Norway), FuelCell Energy (US), Nel Hydrogen (Norway), Plug Power (US) and others.
Air Liquide is a key player in this segment. The company actively focuses on organic and inorganic strategies to increase its global market share. For instance, in June 2018 Air Liquide entered into a partnership with STNE to accelerate the development of hydrogen mobility. This would further add up to the sale and development of hydrogen-powered vehicles serving clean mobility.
Another major player in the market is the ITM Power. The company opts for collaborations as its inorganic business strategy for increasing its clientele base globally. For instance, in May 2019 ITM Power entered into a collaboration with Shell with an agenda to cover all types of hydrogen vehicles from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. This collaboration is expected to continue until 2024.
