Hydrogen Energy Storage Industry

The global hydrogen energy storage market size was estimated at USD 15.97 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% from 2024 to 2030. The growth can be primarily attributed to the swift industrialization of developing countries and increasing acceptance of alternative forms of energy. The U.S. market is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to ongoing research & development and construction of full-scale storage projects. The Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) is a part of the initiative undertaken by the Fuel Cell Technologies Office, based on prevalent and upcoming technologies at national labs.

The development and construction of cost-effective and energy-saving hydrogen stations across the U.S. are among the key objectives planned by the government. Such factors are expected to boost market growth in the U.S. Increased hydrogen applications across a variety of industries are predicted to fuel market expansion. Hydrogen, for example, can be used for industrial applications in oil refineries, power generation in stationary fuel cells, as a fuel in fuel cell vehicles, and stored as a cryogenic liquid, compressed gas, or loosely bonded hydride chemical compound.

Hydrogen Energy Storage Market Segments:

Market Dynamics

Various government policies are ongoing to support hydrogen as a fuel. The European Commission announced its strategy for the development of green hydrogen. The European Commission has approved green hydrogen production, which reforms H2 from natural gas and captures carbon dioxide emissions through carbon capture and storage. In 2020, Engie successfully refueled its first renewable hydrogen passenger train for a pilot test in the Netherlands. Hydrogen-fueled train is expected to be introduced by 2024, wherein Engie and Alstom are expected to collaborate to develop hydrogen-fueled trains across the Netherlands. With this success, the company is likely to expand its solution further across other countries, wherein hydrogen trains can be deployed, leading to a high demand for hydrogen energy and its storage.

Technology Insights

The compression storage technology segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40.0% in 2023. This can be attributed to the wide applications of compressed hydrogen in various sectors. Compressed hydrogen is utilized in on-site stationary power generation, hydrogen filling stations, and road transportation fuel cell vehicles. Furthermore, the compression technique is utilized to store hydrogen in cylinders for industrial applications in manufacturing and chemical industries.

Physical State Insights

The solid segment held the largest revenue share of around 50.0% in 2023. Storage of hydrogen in solid form, i.e., stored in another material, is one of the emerging areas in the market. Methods for storing hydrogen in solid form include techniques involving absorption or adsorption mechanisms of hydrogen by a material.

Application Insights

The industrial application segment held the largest revenue share of over 40.0% in 2023. The use of hydrogen energy storage for residential applications is limited around the world. Countries such as Japan, Germany, France, and Belgium are strengthening their legislative frameworks, which are likely to catalyze the utilization of fuel cells in the residential applications for micro combined heat and power. For instance, Japan’s ENE-FARM program has fueled the adoption of fuel cell-based systems for use as fuel cell micro-cogeneration in residential sector.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific region held the largest revenue share of over 37.48% in 2023. Asia Pacific market consists of major countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and other Southeast Asian countries. Major countries such as Russia, Spain, Germany, Italy, UK, and smaller Eastern and Central European countries make up the European hydrogen energy storage industry. Enormous demand for hydrogen generation from a variety of end users, including industrial and commercial institutions, is to blame.
