The hydrogen energy storage market is witnessing positive trends owing to the rising demand for sustainable energy and the need to decarbonize energy intensive industries. Many countries such as India, China and other are supporting the development of hydrogen infrastructure and technologies through public funding and policies to meet their decarbonization goals. Both utilities scale projects as well as behind-the-meter distributed hydrogen energy storage systems are gaining traction. The cost of renewable hydrogen production is declining steadily making it competitive with fossil fuel alternatives. Investments in hydrogen production using electrolysis and fuel cell technologies are increasing globally which is positively impacting the market growth.

Increasing demand for clean energy sources

There is a growing global consensus that traditional fossil fuels like coal and oil contribute significantly to climate change due to their greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, energy demand continues rising with growing populations and economies, creating a challenge to satisfy this demand without further damaging the environment. This need has put clean and renewable energy sources in the spotlight like never before.

While renewable sources like solar and wind power have proliferated in recent years, one issue remains their intermittent nature which makes them unreliable for base load power requirements or energy storage on a large scale. This is driving significant interest in hydrogen as a clean energy carrier that can store and deliver energy from renewable generation during periods when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. Several nations and organizations such as Africa and other nations have recognized hydrogen's potential and are studying or supporting its development through policy and funding support. Germany, Japan, and South Korea are investing heavily into developing hydrogen technologies and building associated infrastructure. The European Union views hydrogen as a key part of its plans for climate neutrality by 2050. Even oil producing nations have set ambitious targets for hydrogen, recognizing that the long-term prospects of fossil fuels may be limited.

At the same time, the private sector’s interest in clean hydrogen has grown considerably as major industrial and energy companies invest in related research, projects, and partnerships. Automakers are exploring hybrid and fuel cell vehicles as alternatives to battery-powered electric vehicles over longer ranges. Utilities see hydrogen as integral to longer term plans for high renewable grid integration. Many believe that only with large scale storage options like hydrogen can clean energy achieve its full potential. As clean energy policies strengthen around the world and technologies progress to utilize hydrogen across multiple sectors, global demand can be expected to rise substantially in the coming decades. This growing demand will support the wider development and buildout of the hydrogen economy.
