The global hydrogen infrastructure market was valued at $4.9 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $13.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10% from 2023 to 2032.
Hydrogen infrastructure is the comprehensive network of facilities, technologies, and systems required to support the entire lifecycle of hydrogen as an energy carrier. This encompasses everything from hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization, all geared towards harnessing hydrogen as a clean and sustainable source of energy. Hydrogen is generated through various methods like steam methane reforming, electrolysis, and biomass gasification during the hydrogen production phase. To address hydrogen's low volumetric energy density, effective storage methods like compression and liquefaction are utilized. Hydrogen transportation involves the movement of hydrogen from production facilities to distribution points and end-users. This is achieved using methods such as gaseous hydrogen tube trailers and liquid hydrogen tankers.
The distribution phase centers around the network of pipelines and local distribution centers that deliver hydrogen to its end users. These users span industrial facilities, fueling stations, and even residential applications. Hydrogen utilization encompasses a wide range of applications, including fuel cells, hydrogen combustion in internal combustion engines, and its use as a feedstock in various industrial processes. To enable the use of hydrogen-powered vehicles and other hydrogen-based transport, hydrogen fueling stations play a crucial role in supplying hydrogen to fuel-cell electric vehicles and related transportation options. Overall, establishing a well-developed hydrogen infrastructure is fundamental for promoting hydrogen as a sustainable energy solution and facilitating its integration into various sectors of the economy.
The hydrogen infrastructure market size is studied on the basis of production, storage, delivery, and region. Based on production, the hydrogen infrastructure market is divided into steam methane reforming, coal gasification, electrolysis, and others. Electrolysis is a process of converting water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules when electricity is applied. This is done through devices called electrolyzers. The electrolyzer systems are used for breaking water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. The electrolyzers consist of a cathode, an anode, and a membrane. Hydrogen is collected on the cathode side, which is further stored for use in various industries. Oxygen is either released into the atmosphere or collected and used in further industrial processes.
By storage, the market is categorized into compression, liquefaction, and material based. Liquefaction is particularly important for large-scale storage and transportation of hydrogen because liquid hydrogen has a much higher volumetric energy density compared to gaseous hydrogen, making it more space-efficient. Liquefaction is the process of cooling hydrogen gas to extremely low temperatures, below its boiling point of approximately -253°C (-423°F), at atmospheric pressure. When hydrogen is cooled to these temperatures, it undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid, and its volume reduces significantly. Liquid hydrogen has a density of about 70.8 kg/m³ (at -253°C), which is approximately 1/800th the density of gaseous hydrogen at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. This tremendous reduction in volume allows for more efficient storage and transportation.
Depending on the delivery, the market is classified into transportation, refinery, power generation, and hydrogen refueling stations. Refineries are industrial facilities that process crude oil or other raw materials to produce various refined products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and chemicals. These facilities play a crucial role in the petroleum industry by converting raw materials into valuable end products. In refineries, grey hydrogen is often used to remove sulfur from crude oil, a process known as hydrodesulfurization.
By region, the hydrogen infrastructure market analysis is done across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). Hydrogen infrastructure in North America has been steadily growing, driven by a strong commitment to decarbonization and the transition to clean energy sources. While progress varies across different regions and countries in North America, several developments and initiatives have been taken to boost the infrastructure. California has been a leader in hydrogen infrastructure development in the United States. The state has several hydrogen refueling stations, particularly in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, to support the growing number of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) on the roads. States in the Northeast, including New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, have collaborated on regional initiatives to promote clean energy, including hydrogen. Various research projects and public-private partnerships are advancing hydrogen infrastructure in this region.
The major players operating in the hydrogen infrastructure industry are Air Liquide, Linde plc, Nel Hydrogen ASA, Plug Power, Inc., Shell plc, ITM Power plc, Ballard Power Systems, McPhy Energy, Cummins, Inc., and Engie SA. Some countries in South-East Asia, such as Singapore and Malaysia, have shown interest in developing hydrogen infrastructure and have launched pilot projects and research initiatives to explore hydrogen's potential in the region.

Executive Summary
According to this report, the hydrogen infrastructure market was valued at $4.9 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $13.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10% from 2023 to 2032.The hydrogen infrastructure is a network of interconnected facilities, technologies, and systems that play a crucial role in the entire lifecycle of hydrogen as an energy carrier. This involves the production, storage, transportation, and utilization of hydrogen to create a clean and sustainable energy source. Hydrogen can be produced using different methods like steam methane reforming, electrolysis, and biomass gasification. Overcoming hydrogen's low volumetric energy density requires storage methods such as compression and liquefaction. Transportation of hydrogen from production facilities to distribution points and end-users involves various methods like gaseous hydrogen tube trailers and liquid hydrogen tankers. Hydrogen distribution is facilitated by a system of pipelines and local distribution centers that deliver hydrogen to end-users, including industrial facilities, fueling stations, and residential applications. Hydrogen finds numerous applications, such as fuel cells, hydrogen combustion in internal combustion engines, and serving as a feedstock in industrial processes. For the effective supply of hydrogen to fuel-cell electric vehicles and other hydrogen-powered transport, hydrogen fueling stations are of utmost importance in the infrastructure.
Hydrogen produces only water vapor as a byproduct when utilized in fuel cells or hydrogen combustion, making it a clean and emissions-free energy carrier. It can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, contributing to combating climate change and improving air quality. Hydrogen has a high energy density by weight, making it suitable for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as in transportation, especially for long-range heavy-duty vehicles. Establishing a hydrogen infrastructure requires significant upfront investment in production facilities, distribution networks, and fueling stations. The high capital costs deter private investors and companies from committing to hydrogen projects. Access to sustainable sources of hydrogen feedstock, such as renewable energy or low-carbon natural gas, can be a limiting factor for large-scale hydrogen production.
