Analyst Insight: Megatrends in Hydrogen
Hydrogen Electrolyzer Tracker Insights
The hydrogen industry is currently undergoing a period of intense change and growth as global economies ramp up efforts to decarbonize and transition to a more sustainable energy system. However, geopolitical and infrastructure challenges are exerting a significant influence on the sector. For example, the ongoing war in Ukraine is a key trend affecting the business case for green hydrogen in Europe and Asia Pacific, leading to an increased emphasis on energy security. Elevated natural gas prices have bolstered green hydrogen’s cost competitiveness with fossil-based hydrogen production.
US policy makers are providing strong support for the hydrogen economy, especially through the Inflation Reduction Act, which focuses on improving the business case for hydrogen pathways with lower emissions. Other regions with ambitious hydrogen plans include parts of Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, where significant natural gas and renewable energy resources promise low production costs. However, challenges for those regions include a lack of existing infrastructure, high cost of capital, and remoteness from major markets.
This fifth Guidehouse Insights Hydrogen Electrolyzer Tracker Analyst Insight summarizes the key findings of the tracker, outlines important industry trends, and identifies market drivers and barriers.
