Green Hydrogen: The Future Fuel Shaping Global Energy Markets

"Green hydrogen, produced from renewable energy, is rapidly growing as a clean solution to reduce carbon emissions, driven by innovation, government support, and rising demand, despite challenges like cost and infrastructure."

BOSTON, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest study from BCC Research, the demand for Green Hydrogen: Global Markets is increasing from $5.2 billion in 2024 to $38.1 billion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.7% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2029.

This report examines the global market for green hydrogen, covering technology, power sources, industries, and regions. It focuses on hydrogen made from renewable energy (wind and solar) through water electrolysis and key electrolyzer technologies, excluding hydrogen from natural gas.

Interesting facts 

The European market is marked by the presence of strong OEMs, while the Middle East has untapped renewable potential. Developed regions are ahead in green hydrogen investments, but the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region lags in production. China excels in cost-reducing electrolyzer technology, and offshore wind boosts green hydrogen production. However, risks to market growth remain due to a lack of agreements with end-use industries.

Factors contributing to the market's growth include:

1. Unlocking the potential of fuel cells: Fuel cells are clean energy sources that turn hydrogen into electricity, with water as the only byproduct. They can power vehicles, industries, and homes, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and cutting emissions.
2. Natural gas blending with green hydrogen: Blending green hydrogen with natural gas reduces carbon emissions and uses existing gas infrastructure, helping transition to cleaner energy with less environmental impact.
3. Harnessing offshore renewable energy for green hydrogen: Using offshore wind and solar energy to produce green hydrogen offers a clean, large-scale solution that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and supports sustainable energy.
