The green hydrogen market size is expected to grow from US$ 4,061.21 million in 2022 to US$ 88,055.64 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 46.9% from 2022 to 2030.

Analyst Perspective:

Many countries and organizations have set ambitious decarbonization goals, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier. For instance, in October 2022, the government of Singapore announced its plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and increase hydrogen utilization as a major power source. According to The Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, the carbon emission of the country is likely to reach 60 metric ton by 2030, a reduction of 5 metric ton compared to 2022. Green hydrogen is a key component of these goals, as it can be used as a clean energy carrier across various sectors, including transportation, industrial, and power generation. Similarly, in October 2022, the Minister of Energy and Mineral of Oman announced its plan to implement a green hydrogen strategy to fulfill the country’s climate change commitments. The country aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement’s objectives of reducing global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Thus, the rising global plans for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 are driving the green hydrogen market. Also, such plans are leading to push a greater number of hydrogen producers to shift from grey or blue hydrogen to green hydrogen production which is another major factor likely to provide new opportunities for green hydrogen market players during the forecast period.

Market Overview:

The green hydrogen market has been experiencing significant growth and is poised to become a major entity in the global energy landscape. In the industrial sector, green hydrogen can be utilized for processes such as ammonia production, refining, and steel manufacturing, replacing traditional hydrogen derived from natural gas. Moreover, green hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize the heating and cooling sectors, offering a clean alternative to fossil fuels in residential and commercial applications. Such applications are likely to provide new opportunities for green hydrogen market players during the near future.

Market Driver:

Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use hydrogen as a fuel and employ fuel cells to generate electricity, providing a clean and efficient alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. With countries striving to reduce carbon emissions and transition to low-carbon transportation, the demand for FCEVs is increasing across the globe. As a result, various market players are involved in strategic development, such as partnerships, collaborations, and agreements, to enhance their product offerings and fulfill the growing demand for FCEVs. For instance, in July 2023, Toyota Canada, one of the leading automobile manufacturers, signed a deal with Edmonton International Airport (YEG) for the supply of a fleet of 100 Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Similarly, in July 2023, HYLA Brand, a brand of Nikola Corporation, signed an agreement with BayoTech, Inc. to expand the reliable supply of hydrogen for the commercial FCEV fleet. The adoption of FCEVs drives the need for green hydrogen production, as it is the primary source of fuel in these vehicles. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, in 2022, globally, the number of FCEVs on roads increased by 40% compared to 2021. With the entry of more FCEVs into the market and the expansion of supporting hydrogen infrastructure, the demand for green hydrogen as a fuel source is also increasing. This, in turn, drives investment in the production, storage, and distribution of green hydrogen. Thus, the growing demand for FCEVs is driving the green hydrogen market.
