什麼是氫氣產生?
氫氣生產是生產氫氣以用作燃料或能源的過程。它可以透過多種方式完成,包括水電解、天然氣重整和生質能氣化。透過電解,將電流施加到水以將其分解成其組成元素:氫和氧。產生的氫氣用作燃料來源或儲存在燃料電池中。天然氣重整是分解氣體分子以產生氫氣和其他氣體的過程。最後,生質能氣化是分解有機物產生氫氣和其他氣體的過程。它是一種高效率的能源,因為它是清潔燃燒的,燃燒時不排放任何二氧化碳。它也比化石燃料更輕,因此更容易運輸。
全球COVID-19大流行對氫氣生產和需求產生了嚴重影響。化學工業遭受重創,石油和天然氣探勘活動在疫情期間受到重創。隨著疫情期間對醫療用品的需求不斷成長,現有的氫氣儲備已被用來滿足這些需求。電力產業一直處於氫需求的前沿,佔據了大部分市場需求。政府實施的法規,例如封鎖、限制國際旅行和社交距離,對各國的金融狀況產生了不利影響。然而,在後疫情時代,各國政府一直熱衷於利用工業和運輸部門關閉帶來的排放減少來推動對包括氫在內的清潔燃料替代品的需求,這對市場產生了積極影響。
目前,許多國家的管理當局正在採取重大措施來減少汽車產業的碳排放,增加了電動車的銷售量。除此之外,氫氣被廣泛用作發電廠發電機的冷卻劑,這是另一個成長誘導因素。此外,多個項目旨在降低氫氣生產技術的成本和環境影響。基於核能的氫氣生產被認為是最大限度減少碳足跡和應對全球氣候變遷的經濟解決方案,這進一步推動了全球玻璃純化、化肥生產和半導體製造對氫氣生產的需求。除此之外,氫在氫化聚合物和氫化金屬等新材料生產中的廣泛採用,與傳統材料相比,提供了更高的性能並節省了成本,為市場提供了推動力。此外,經濟高效、節能的加氫站的開發和建設正在創造積極的市場前景。此外,不斷的技術進步和成本降低使氫氣生產變得更加經濟實惠和容易獲得。這正在推動該行業的投資,從而有助於為氫基產品和服務創造新市場。
The global hydrogen generation market size reached US$ 163.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 270.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% during 2024-2032. The rising environmental concerns, increasing need for sustainable energy sources, and escalating demand for renewable energy across the globe represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Hydrogen is a clean, renewable, and abundant energy source that is produced from a variety of sources, including water electrolysis, biomass, and natural gas. It can be used to directly power vehicles, generate electricity, and store energy for later use. The demand for clean energy sources is driven by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, the rising cost of traditional fuels, such as oil and natural gas, is accelerating the demand for hydrogen across industry verticals. This is further augmented by the growing cost of electricity, which has rendered hydrogen-based energy sources more attractive. Apart from this, numerous initiatives undertaken by the governments of several countries to encourage the masses to adopt clean energy sources are creating a positive market outlook.
Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is moderately fragmented due to the presence of numerous players at the regional and international levels in the industry due to favorable government initiatives and the extensive application of hydrogen as a coolant in power plant generators. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the hydrogen generation industry due to the high capital investment, high entry and exit barrier, and low to moderate product differentiation.
What is Hydrogen Generation?
Hydrogen generation is the process of producing hydrogen gas in order to use as a fuel or energy source. It is done in several ways, including electrolysis of water, reforming of natural gas, and biomass gasification. Through electrolysis, an electrical current is applied to water in order to split it into its component elements, hydrogen, and oxygen. The hydrogen gas produced is used as a fuel source or stored in fuel cells. The reforming of natural gas is a process that breaks down the molecules of the gas in order to produce hydrogen and other gases. Lastly, biomass gasification is the process of breaking down organic matter to produce hydrogen and other gases. It is an efficient energy source, as it is clean burning and does not emit any carbon dioxide when burned. It is also lighter than fossil fuels, making it easier to transport.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the production and demand for hydrogen generation. The chemical industry has suffered greatly, with oil and gas exploration activities taking a major hit during the pandemic. With the growing need for medical supplies during the outbreak, the existing reserves of hydrogen have been utilized to meet these requirements. The power industry has been at the forefront of the demand for hydrogen, accounting for much of the market demand. Government-imposed regulations, such as lockdowns, restricted international travel, and social distancing have had a detrimental effect on the financial state of various countries. However, governments have been keen to use the reduced emissions caused by the shutdown of the industry and transport sector to push the demand for clean fuel alternatives, including hydrogen, in the post-COVID era, which is positively influencing the market.
At present, governing authorities of numerous nations are taking significant initiatives to reduce carbon emissions in the automotive industry, resulting in increased sales of electric vehicles. Along with this, hydrogen is widely utilized as a coolant in power plant generators, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In addition, several projects are aiming to reduce the costs and environmental impacts of hydrogen production technologies. Nuclear energy-based hydrogen generation is considered an economical solution for minimizing the carbon footprint and addressing global climate change, which is further driving demand for hydrogen generation in glass purification, fertilizer production, and semiconductor manufacturing across the globe. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of hydrogen in the production of new materials, such as hydrogenated polymers and hydrogenated metals, offering improved performance and cost savings compared to traditional materials, is providing thrust to the market. Moreover, the development and construction of cost-effective and energy-saving hydrogen stations are creating a positive market outlook. Furthermore, continual technological advancements and cost reductions are making hydrogen generation more affordable and accessible. This is driving investments in the sector, and thus helping to create new markets for hydrogen-based products and services.
