Key Trends in the Green Hydrogen Market

• Rapid Decarbonization Policy Implementation: Governments worldwide are establishing stringent climate targets, with transport emissions increasing 1.6% in 2023, driving demand for clean alternatives. The UN's Inland Transport Committee strategy targets reducing GHG emissions, with transport accounting for 23% of annual emissions and projected to grow 79% by 2050 for passenger transport.
• Electrolysis Technology Breakthroughs: Advanced electrolyzer technologies like alkaline and PEM systems are becoming more efficient and cost-effective. In March 2024, Greenzo Energy India Limited launched India's first 1 MW Alkaline Electrolyser, marking significant progress in domestic production capabilities and clean energy infrastructure.
• Heavy Industry Decarbonization Drive: Hard-to-decarbonize sectors including steel, cement, and chemicals are adopting green hydrogen as a fossil fuel alternative. In May 2024, Volvo Trucks announced hydrogen-powered combustion engine trucks, with on-road tests beginning in 2026 and commercial launch planned for the decade's end.
• Renewable Energy Cost Reductions: The IEA reports that 96% of new utility-scale solar PV and offshore wind capacity in 2023 was cheaper than coal or natural gas plants. This declining cost structure makes green hydrogen production through water electrolysis increasingly economically viable.
• Infrastructure Investment Surge: Major pipeline projects are expanding globally, with RWE and Equinor collaborating on hydrogen pipelines from Norway to Germany. The European Hydrogen Backbone initiative unites 33 gas operators to establish pan-European network, with Germany securing EUR 24 billion loan for 9,040 km hydrogen network.

Growth Factors in the Green Hydrogen Market

• Net-Zero Commitment Acceleration: Corporate and governmental net-zero targets by 2050 are driving substantial investments in clean energy alternatives. The European Green Deal and Fit for 55 packages provide robust policy frameworks supporting electrolyzer capacity expansion and infrastructure development across member states.
• Hard-to-Electrify Sector Adoption: Transportation sectors including shipping, aviation, and long-haul trucking are embracing hydrogen fuel cells for their superior range and faster refueling compared to batteries. Hydrogen fuel cells market reached USD 3.64 billion in 2024, projected to grow to USD 5.9 billion by 2030.
• Technological Cost Competitiveness: Continuous improvements in electrolyzer efficiency and economies of scale are reducing production costs. Green hydrogen costs are expected to fall 40-60% in coming years, with industry projections indicating cost parity with grey hydrogen achievable by 2030 through technological advances.
• Strategic Government Incentives: Programs like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and Department of Energy's Hydrogen Shot provide substantial funding for production cost reduction and infrastructure enhancement. The EU's EUR 1.9 billion European Hydrogen Bank auctions and India's National Green Hydrogen Mission target 5 Mt production by 2030.
• Export Market Development: Resource-rich nations are positioning themselves as global green hydrogen suppliers. Australia secured $814 million in production incentives for the 1,500 MW Murchison Project, while Middle Eastern countries leverage abundant solar resources to develop export-oriented production facilities.
