Hydrogen Generation Market Insights

  • Lucintel forecasts that blue hydrogen will remain the largest segment over the forecast period because blue hydrogen is derived from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR). SMR mixes natural gas with very hot steam in the presence of a catalyst, where a chemical reaction creates hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and the cost of generating blue hydrogen is very low.
  • Within this market, ammonia production is expected to remain the largest segment due to rising government regulations in order to encourage desulphurization of fuels to conserve the environment, and ammonia’s potential as a carbon-free fuel, hydrogen carrier, and energy store represents an opportunity for renewable hydrogen technologies to be deployed at an even greater scale.
  • APAC will remain the fastest growing region due to the increase in fuel cell based electric vehicles in this region, hydrogen-based economy, and research activities and developments in the region targeting to reduce the cost of green hydrogen generation.
