The global blue hydrogen market is estimated to be valued at USD 20.65 Bn in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 45.55 Bn by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2024 to 2031. Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas through steam methane reforming combined with carbon capture and storage technologies. It has lower carbon footprint compared to grey hydrogen produced from natural gas. Rising focus on decarbonization of industries and need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels are the key factors driving the demand for blue hydrogen. However, the high capital cost of carbon capture technologies remains a challenge for the wide adoption of blue hydrogen currently. With ongoing technological advancements and supportive policies, the blue hydrogen market is anticipated to grow substantially over the next decade.
Market Dynamics
The global blue hydrogen market is driven by several factors such as stringent emission norms, carbon neutrality pledges of various nations, and focus on developing a hydrogen economy. However, high capital cost of carbon capture technologies acts as a key restraint. Various countries and industry players have announced partnerships and investments to develop large-scale blue hydrogen production facilities using natural gas as a feedstock. For instance, the European Union’s hydrogen strategy aims to install at least 6 GW of low-carbon hydrogen electrolyzes and produce 1 million tons of renewable and low carbon hydrogen by 2024. Another major opportunity is the adoption of blue hydrogen for the transportation sector including trucks, buses, and ships. However, building required infrastructure remains a challenge.
