Market Overview

Global Hydrogen Generation Market is expected to grow over USD 200 Billion by 2027 due to the rising demand for renewable energy. Rising demand for clean fuels, environmental awareness, governments imposing strict regulations of emission control is some of the factors influencing the growth of the Global Hydrogen Generation Market. Moreover, Hydrogen is increasingly used in various end-user industries also propels the growth of the market globally. The advanced technologies such as electrolytic, and pyrolysis production are making it easier for applications. However, transportation and storage issues are hindering the growth of the Global Hydrogen Generation Market.  

Hydrogen is a chemical element found on the earth, which is clean, versatile with the zero-emission carrier of energy. It is not present in its molecular form but is available in plenty of amounts. It is colorless, nonmetallic, non-toxic, highly combustible, odorless and tasteless diatomic gas. Water is the primary raw material used in the production process of hydrogen generation making it an environmentally friendly process. Hydrogen can be manufactured and transformed into electricity and can be stored in various forms such as gaseous, metal hydrides and liquid. It can be transformed into other energy forms It has the benefit of easy transportation, low boiling point, high efficiency and lightweight making it ideal for industrial use. It is an environment-friendly fuel as it produces pollution-free combustion products.
