世界の水素市場 : 2029年までの予測

Hydrogen is a gas with no color and odour and has the lowest density of all gases. Hydrogen is viewed as a crucial way of decarbonizing the global economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting the effects of global warming. The hydrogen market is primarily focused on refining crude oil, producing ammonia fertilizers and processing metals. However, in recent years, an ongoing effort has been made to make it a viable renewable energy source as the advantage of employing hydrogen as an energy carrier is that the only byproducts are water and heat when it reacts with oxygen. Although hydrogen is currently a relatively small market, pollutive, and dedicated to specific industries (refineries, chemical production), it has become the source of a lot of hope for the energy transition, as it represents a key solution for the storage of energy and does not emit CO2 when it is “green”. Global hydrogen market demonstrated a consistent growth, primarily driven by increasing demand for hydrogen-based fuels, growing focus on industrial decarbonization and desulfurization to meet sustainability goals, and ongoing developments in steel and power generation industries to meet with the growing global electricity demand. The global hydrogen market value stood at US$216.19 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.63% over the projected period of 2024-2029.
