Green Hydrogen Market Report Highlights
Market Dynamics
Driver:
Growing government support
Governments play a crucial role in creating supportive policy frameworks and regulations that provide long-term stability and predictability for the green hydrogen market. Governments across the globe are focused on setting up renewable energy targets, establishing emission reduction goals, and implementing carbon pricing mechanisms, all of which incentivize the demand for green hydrogen. Additionally, regulations that promote the integration of green hydrogen into existing energy systems, such as blending it with natural gas in pipelines or supporting fuel cell technology, this element drives market growth.
In January 2022, the Indian Union Cabinet proposed ‘The National Green Hydrogen Mission’ while intending the objective of decarbonizing the nation with the production of clean energy sources. The government’s strategy aims to make the nation a global leader in the production of green hydrogen. The mission is projected to develop at least 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen per annum.
In March 2023, the Canadian Prime Minister and Minister of Finance introduced ‘Made in Canada Plan’ in the House of Commons. This plan through Budget23, for year 2023 revolves around the clean energy investment. With the plan, the government stated it supports the production of clean and green hydrogen in the country.
Rising demand for renewable energy solutions
Renewable energy sources are intermittent in nature, their generation is all dependent on weather conditions. Energy storage becomes crucial for balancing the intermittent supply and demand. Green hydrogen can be produced during periods of excess renewable energy generation and stored for later use. It can be converted back to electricity through fuel cells or used as a feedstock in industrial processes, providing a reliable energy storage solution and contributing to grid stability. Many governments, private organizations and regions have set targets along with a few regulatory policies for transitioning to renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions. These goals often include a focus on the production of green hydrogen as a key component of energy transition strategies. The increasing demand for renewable energy to achieve these targets naturally drives the demand for green hydrogen as a clean energy carrier.?
For instance, the European Union has aimed to produce approximately 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen, ammonia and other clean fuel components by 2030. The commission aims to improve the hydrogen infrastructure with this strategy.
Restraint:
High cost of production
The primary cost driver in green hydrogen production is electrolyzers, which are used to split water molecules. Electrolyzer technology is still relatively new and not yet at a mature stage of development. As a result, the current generation of electrolyzers is expensive, and the economies of scale have not been fully realized. To establish a robust green hydrogen market, significant infrastructure investments are required. This includes building electrolysis facilities, hydrogen storage and transportation infrastructure, and retrofitting existing pipelines or establishing new ones. These upfront infrastructure costs further contribute to the high production costs. Thus, the cost of production hinders the market expansion by acting as a major restraint for the market’s growth.
Limitations with infrastructure
Hydrogen has low energy density, and it is challenging to transport and store it efficiently. Dedicated pipelines for hydrogen are limited, and retrofitting existing natural gas pipelines can be costly and complex. Lack of infrastructure for bulk transportation, such as shipping and trucking, adds to the challenges of distributing green hydrogen to end-users. Green hydrogen requires specialized storage facilities to prevent leaks and ensure safety. Existing storage infrastructure for hydrogen is limited, and developing adequate storage solutions for large-scale green hydrogen production and utilization remains a challenge. Moreover, refueling hydrogen stations, building the overall planned infrastructure and transportation limitations hamper the market’s expansion by acting as a restraint for the market’s growth.?
Opportunity:?
Rising investments in research and development activities
Research and development efforts aim to focus on boosting the performance and durability of green hydrogen technologies. Improving the efficiency and lifespan of electrolyzers can contribute to higher hydrogen production rates and reduced maintenance costs. Similarly, advancements in fuel cell technology can enhance the efficiency and reliability of hydrogen-powered vehicles and other applications. While addressing the major cost constraint of the market, such investments can drive down the costs associated with green hydrogen production. As research progresses, scientists and engineers can identify ways to optimize processes, improve efficiency, and reduce the need for expensive materials. Lower production costs make green hydrogen more competitive with fossil fuels, attracting investment and increasing market adoption.
