Blue Hydrogen Market Size Worth $6.0 Billion by 2032

(The Brainy Insights/Globe Newswire) The rising environmental issues are driving the blue hydrogen market's growth. The increased usage of hydrogen in fuel cell vehicles is projected to drive the market demand soon. -- The Brainy Insights estimates that the USD 1.5 billion blue hydrogen market will reach USD 6.0 billion by 2032. Natural gas is combined with scalding steam and a catalyst in the steam methane reforming process for manufacturing blue hydrogen. A second chemical reaction occurs, producing hydrogen and carbon monoxide. With the addition of water to this combination, carbon monoxide is transformed into carbon dioxide and additional hydrogen. If CO2 emissions are caught and stored underground, the process is deemed CO2-neutral, and the resulting hydrogen is referred to as "Blue Hydrogen." Nowadays, approximately 120 megatons of hydrogen are generated each year. The remainder is combined with other gases, primarily carbon monoxide (CO), to form syngas (synthetic gas).

North America to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.

North America is expected to have the most significant blue hydrogen market share. Oil refining capacity in North America was around 21.4 million barrels per day in 2021. Furthermore, the United States generates power using various energy sources and technologies. In addition, Canada will develop a domestic hydrogen market, offering national economic and environmental benefits, cutting emissions in areas such as transportation, and establishing hydrogen as a critical component of the net-zero future.

The steam methane reforming segment dominated the market with the most significant revenue of USD 0.6 billion.

The steam methane reforming segment dominated the market with the most significant market revenue of USD 0.6 billion. The key advantages of this technology are its excellent operational efficiency and low operational and production expenses. Steam methane reforming is a low-cost, energy-efficient method of producing high levels of pure hydrogen, which may be collected using in-house pressure swing adsorption purification technology.

The power generation segment dominated the market with the most significant revenue of USD 0.64 billion.

The power generation segment dominated the market with the most significant market revenue of USD 0.64 billion. Blue hydrogen may be the most cost-effective choice for decarbonizing industrial heating, domestic heating in cold locations, and heavy-duty cars. Blue hydrogen use is projected to increase as GHG emissions from vehicles rise. Transportation accounts for 28% of total greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, electric vehicles have grown in popularity due to their zero emissions into the environment and low refuelling and maintenance expenses. Hydrogen-powered fuel cells emit no pollutants and can outperform standard combustion technology by two to three times. China had the most significant sales in 2021, more than triple those of 2020, with 3.3 million, followed by Europe, which had 2.3 million sales, up from 1.4 million in 2020. In the United States, in 2021, 630000 electric vehicles will be sold, boosting their market share to 4.5%.

● In April 2022, Shell and Uniper agreed to start planning the manufacturing of blue hydrogen at the Killingholme power facility of Uniper in East England.

Hydrogen FCEVs have a significant range advantage over lithium-ion batteries while being lighter and taking up less space. It is because hydrogen FCEVs have a far more significant energy storage density. Around 31,000 fuel cell electric cars (FCEVs) were registered worldwide in 2021. According to projections, the worldwide FCEV fleet will reach around 13 million units in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 95.4%.

The rapid development and improvements will hamper the blue hydrogen market's expansion in green hydrogen technology.

The EU also funds hydrogen research and development projects through its research framework programs, Horizontal Europe (2022-2029) and Honzon 2021. The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Venture (FCH JU), a public-private collaboration financed by the European Commission, manages the hydrogen project. Furthermore, the region's new startup boom will likely boost investment in blue hydrogen initiatives and generate revenue development in the region's markets.

Using natural gas to generate the energy required to manufacture blue hydrogen produces carbon dioxide emissions and inhibits the revenue growth of the blue hydrogen business.
