The global hydrogen storage market faces many technological challenges. Currently, no method exists for storing hydrogen safely and affordably on a large scale. Pressurized tanks carry risks of leakage and explosions. Liquid hydrogen requires very low temperatures that consume lots of energy to maintain. Other materials-based storage methods lack the capacity, kinetics, or cycles required by vehicles and the grid. The cost and size of current storage technologies prohibit widespread hydrogen integration and infrastructure expansion. However, researchers are making progress improving existing technologies.
Market Opportunity: Increasing Adoption of Renewable Energy
The market also presents opportunities. As renewable energy adoption increases globally, demand will grow for sustainable ways to store and transport energy over long distances and periods of time. Successful hydrogen storage solutions could enable applications from transportation to backup power and more. Countries and private industries have significantly increased funding for relevant research. Advancements may open new applications and multi-Bn dollar markets in diverse sectors.
