- For instance, in January 2024, TotalEnergies and Air Liquide announced the launch of TEAL mobility, a combined venture to form the leader in the distribution of hydrogen in Europe for heavy-duty vehicles.
New-age projects related to distributed energy and its usage are expected to boost the hydrogen generation market. The market for hydrogen gas includes the on-site generation hydrogen system, a growing preference for advanced innovations, an increase in the usage of hydrogen amongst multiple industries, and the formation of green production technologies.
The United States is one of the world's pioneers in the use of sustainable energy solutions in industries like manufacturing, transportation, and power generation. In December 2006, the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Energy (DOE) in the United States unveiled the Hydrogen Posture Plan. Enhancing research and development (R&D) and validating technologies that can be used to set up hydrogen infrastructure were the goals of this initiative. Deliverables established by the federal government were included in this plan to aid in the nation's infrastructure development for hydrogen. It was created in accordance with the National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap and Vision. One of the main goals that government agencies have set for themselves is the development and installation of energy-efficient and reasonably priced hydrogen stations around the nation. It is anticipated that all of these causes will increase US demand for hydrogen generation.

What are the market drivers driving the demand for hydrogen generation market?
Rising industrialization and development of infrastructure is driving the demand for hydrogen generation market.
The increasing urban and industrial expansion is propelling the countries to adopt various power generation methods to fulfill the demand. Additionally, rapidly increasing development activities and increasing population throughout regions such as the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. Rising concern regarding sustainable energy consumption for reducing the dependency on traditional fossil fuels such as natural gas & crude oil has an important role in the worldwide market. Such kind of multiple factors are driving the demand for the hydrogen generation market.
Focusing shift on sustainable energy is boosting the market expansion.
The market for hydrogen generation is dominated by a shift in emphasis toward cleaner energy sources and by rules that are advantageous to the industry. The worldwide energy problem has sparked interest in sustainable conservation efforts and research and development into alternate energy sources. The area of sustainability in energy generation is broad and involves several actions that must be adopted in the early phases due to the significant potential effects they may have on the environment and on business. Such reasons are driving the demand for the hydrogen generation market.
The last twenty years have seen a surge in the study of clean fuels and the desulfurization of petroleum products, which has stimulated environmental catalysis research worldwide. Air pollution levels, as defined by U.S. EPA laws that now regulate the manufacture and distribution of gasoline and diesel fuels, have significantly increased when compared to statistical data.
Which factor is restraining the demand for Hydrogen Generation?
The expensive storage tanks can limit the growth for hydrogen generation market.
Nowadays, tanks are the most popular place to store hydrogen for stationary and small-scale mobile applications, either as a gas or a liquid. Transporting and storing hydrogen requires the use of cooling and compression equipment. The storage tanks used to store hydrogen must have low temperatures, a non-reactive medium, and fast, reversible hydrogen adsorption/desorption that doesn't require heat energy. These specialized storage tanks are very expensive, which is the major restraint to the hydrogen generation market and for its expansion. However, when hydrogen molecules are needed, the ammonia that has been stored as hydrogen must be broken down using thermal energy. From now on, the modified tanks' hydrogen storage comes at a high cost. Aside from this, the primary technological impediment to the advancement and broad use of fuel cell technology in fixed, mobile, and transportation applications is hydrogen storage. This is, therefore, anticipated to further limit market expansion in the upcoming years.

Category Wise Insights
By Technology Insights
Based on technology analysis, the market is segmented on the basis of coal gasification, steam methane reforming, and others. The steam methane segment is dominant in the hydrogen generation market. Due to its advanced innovation in the process of hydrogen generation. Since steam methane reformers are the most cost-effective means of producing hydrogen, the growing global need for hydrogen generation is a major driving force behind the technology breakthrough. Operational advantages like the steam methane reforming process's high conversion efficiency are further growth-promoting elements. Throughout the projected period, the steam methane reforming segment is anticipated to continue leading.
Coal gasification technology is anticipated to expand rapidly over the forecast period. For two centuries, hydrogen has been produced from coal using a process known as coal gasification. It is also recognized as a tried-and-true method of producing hydrogen, similar to steam methane reforming. The United States has a vast domestic coal resource. It is anticipated that using coal to produce hydrogen for the transportation sector will help America become less reliant on foreign petroleum supplies.
By Application Insights
Based on application type analysis, the market has been segmented on the basis of power generation, transportation, petroleum refining, ammonia production, methanol production, and others. Ammonia production is a dominant application in the context of the hydrogen generation market. Carbon-free fuel, energy storage, and hydrogen carrier are the potentials of ammonia, which shows the opportunity for renewable hydrogen innovations that can be practiced on a large scale. At ammonia facilities, hydrogen is usually produced on-site using a feedstock of fossil fuels. Demands for hydrogen-based power generation are rising since it is a dependable and reasonably priced source of energy. In developed areas where clean and efficient energy is a top priority, like North America and Europe, hydrogen-based power production technology has established a strong foothold.
By System Insights
Based on system analysis, the market has been segmented into captive and merchant generation systems. Of these two types of generation systems, the merchant generation system accounts for the significant revenue share of the market due to its feature of production being done at a central facility and later being delivered and sold to the consumer by pipeline.
