Introduction

Hydrogen, one of the most abundant chemical elements in the universe, is a lightweight, colorless, odorless gas distinguished by its simplicity and purity, comprising just one proton and one electron. In nature, hydrogen is rarely found in its pure form on Earth, as it readily combines with other elements to form water, organic compounds, and various other substances. On the other hand, it industrially is primarily produced through steam reforming of natural gas, a process that unfortunately releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide. However, there's a growing shift towards green hydrogen production, which involves splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, powered by renewable energy sources. This method holds the promise of providing clean, sustainable energy, with water vapor as the only emission. Currently, it finds extensive applications in a wide array of industries, such as energy and transportation.

Market Trends/Drivers

The hydrogen market is evolving rapidly, propelled by some fundamental paradigm shifts which are happening, such as the energy transition and its ability to address many industrial sectors. The principal element is the worldwide endeavor to get rid of carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen is the center point of the efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the transportation industry. Furthermore, factors, such as the extensive research and development (R&D) activities and significant technological advancements, are creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe.

In addition to this, Hydrogen has emerged as the key energy carrier and storage system for this process, playing a role in grid stabilization against solar and wind power with its less variable nature. Moreover, increasing investments by both public and private sectors in hydrogen infrastructure, such as fueling stations and pipelines, are contributing to the market expansion. Moreover, global collaborations and partnerships are facilitating knowledge exchange, standardization, and the scaling up of hydrogen technologies, thereby driving the market further toward growth. The market is also being driven by stricter environmental regulations and carbon pricing mechanisms, which are making carbon-intensive fuels more expensive and less attractive. This regulatory environment is compelling industries to adopt cleaner alternatives like hydrogen, especially in regions with stringent emission standards. This, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe. In line with this, governments of various countries are seeking hydrogen as a way to enhance their energy security and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. Since Hydrogen can be locally produced, stored, and used according to demand, offering a way to diversify energy sources and increase resilience against energy supply disruptions, this is acting as a major growth-inducing factor.
