The major factors driving the hydrogen generation market include the growing demand to decarbonize energy end-use, government regulation for desulphurization of refinery activities, and increased demand for hydrogen in the transportation sector. The objective of the report is to define, describe, and forecast the global hydrogen generation market by generation & delivery mode, technology, application, storage, and region.
By technology, steam reforming segment is expected to dominate the hydrogen generation market during the forecast period
The report segments the hydrogen generation market, by technology, into steam reforming (methane), partial oxidation (oil), gasification (coal), and electrolysis of water. The steam reforming technology is expected to hold the largest market share by 2023. Steam reforming is an advanced and mature technology for hydrogen production and uses high-temperature steam to produce hydrogen from conventional sources such as natural gas. Most of the large central oil and gas refinery plants and industries typically use steam reforming for hydrogen generation. Factors such as improved economic benefits and operational benefits such as high conversion efficiency provided by steam reforming technology are expected to drive the market.
By application, the transportation segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The transportation application segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The market growth in this segment can be attributed to the increase in fuel cell vehicle sales including FCEV and fuel cell buses in North America and Asia Pacific regions. Countries such as Japan, China, and South Korea have proposed strong fuel cell based vehicle implementation commitments to reduce the growing dependency on gasoline fuel imports. Moreover, the development of supporting infrastructure such as hydrogen refueling stations is also expected to drive the market in these regions.
By generation & delivery mode, merchant segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period
Merchant-based hydrogen generation is the fastest growing segment in the hydrogen generation market. The merchant-based hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis and natural gas processes. This method of distributed hydrogen generation reduces the need for transportation of fuel and construction of new hydrogen generation infrastructure. Hence, merchant-based hydrogen generation is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period.
By storage, on-board storage segment is expected to hold the largest market during the forecast period
The on-board storage segment held the largest share in the hydrogen generation market. It is an established technology for storing hydrogen through compression via pressurization in steel or carbon composite cylinders. Hydrogen that is stored in this method is typically in gaseous or liquid state. Due to physical characteristics of hydrogen, onboard storage methods use special alloys or composite fiber reinforced containers. Hydrogen stored in this compressed mode is typically used in on-board mobile applications such as vehicles for road transportation, stationary application for dispensing hydrogen at refueling stations, and at sites for stationary power generation.
Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period
In this report, the global hydrogen generation market has been analyzed with respect to 6 regions, namely, North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest market of hydrogen generation from 2018 to 2023. Increasing refinery operations to meet the growing demand for fuels in India, South Korea, and China are expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, China is building a hydrogen city with an investment of 290 million that will focus on promoting research and development of fuel cells, step up building hydrogen stations, and achieve the mass production of fuel cell vehicles by 2020. In addition, Japan has ambitious plans to have 100 fuel cell buses, including vehicles operated by private bus operators, as well as 6,000 fuel cell cars, operating on the citys roads by 2020. These factors would drive the market in the region.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing emphasis on decarbonizing energy end-use
Decarbonization means decreasing average carbon intensity of primary energy over time. Decarbonization of the global energy system is one of the biggest challenges faced today and has raised concerns for green energy technology such as hydrogen and related products. Hydrogen is a clean energy fuel and is expected to reduce the dependence on oil in the long term, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Hydrogen can be abundantly produced from almost all the energy resources such as biomass, wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, and clean fossil fuels. The hydrogen thus produced can be used for power generation and will balance supply and demand in the future energy system.
Rising demand for hydrogen has led to an increase in funding by research institutes, industry, and the European Commission to develop a well-accepted roadmap of hydrogen in the energy system in Europe and Asia. For instance, the European Commission (EC) invested around USD 24 billion in fuel cell technology projects that would be completed in collaboration with several industry players as a part of its Horizon 2020 initiative. Similar investments have also been made in Asia Pacific, predominantly in Japan and South Korea. Furthermore, leading automotive manufacturers have formed various contracts & agreements to advance hydrogen car technologies. For example, Hyundai signed an agreement with Audi in June 2018 to enhance hydrogen car technology and bring down costs to make the technology profitable. All these initiatives are expected to reduce the GHG emission.
Restraint: High energy consumption of hydrogen generation technologies
Hydrogen, which is the most abundant element on earth, does not exist in its free state. Hence, it needs to be separated from chemical compounds using various technologies such as steam methane reforming, partial oxidation of oil, coal gasification, and water electrolysis. Electrolysis of water requires electricity for production of hydrogen, which makes hydrogen more expensive than the fuels it would replace.
Hydrogen is currently costlier than fossil fuels. Globally, the cost of hydrogen ranges between USD 4 and USD 12 per kilogram, as compared to gasoline priced at USD 1.60 to USD 4.80 per gallon. High cost of hydrogen is the biggest barrier. Hydrogen, as a fuel, cannot be commercially viable until its cost comes down. Costs are currently high as hydrogen technologies are relatively new and lack economies of scale along with rising demand. As an enabler of fuel cell technology hydrogen is currently a costlier than IC engines, operated by gasoline which acts as a restraint.
Opportunity: Development of green hydrogen production technologies
Hydrogen the clean energy carrier is not found free in nature. Hence, various technologies are used presently to produce hydrogen, which include steam methane reforming, partial oxidation of oil, coal gasification, and water electrolysis. Most of the hydrogen produced today is used in the petroleum refineries and manufacturing fertilizers. 99% of it comes from fossil fuel reforming as this has been the most economical pathway. However, this does not have any real climate benefits as CO2 is emitted in the process.
Electrolysis of water produces green hydrogen from renewable energy resources such as onshore and offshore wind and solar power. Such green hydrogen finds numerous applications ranging from industrial feedstock to fuel cell vehicles and energy storage. The concept of green hydrogen is still in its early phase and many organizations are investing in setting up new green hydrogen production plants that would help in reducing GHG emissions.
Challenge: Safety concerns of hydrogen
Hydrogen is highly flammable and burns as soon as it comes in contact with air. When hydrogen is in gaseous form, it has to be handled carefully since it can burn the moment it leaks. Currently, most of the hydrogen is consumed as a chemical by industries. However, the use of hydrogen as a fuel has raised safety concerns. There are codes and standards for using hydrogen as a fuel in fuel cells for automobiles, portable, and stationary applications. For instance, US-based trade association National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has laid the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems. However, the usage of hydrogen as a fuel is still in the initial stages. Hence, these codes and standards can inhibit the deployment of hydrogen fuel applications.
