Hydrogen has potential to be an important part of a net zero energy future as it can store excess renewable energy and power transportation, buildings and industry with near-zero emissions. Hydrogen energy storage utilizes hydrogen fuel cells or storage facilities to store energy for later use. With greater deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind power worldwide, large-scale and long-duration hydrogen energy storage systems are gaining more interest to solve energy storage challenges. Governments across countries are implementing policies and programs to develop hydrogen infrastructure and technologies. Rising environmental concerns are also fueling the adoption of clean hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
(Market Dynamics):
The global hydrogen energy storage market is driven by supportive government policies and initiatives aimed at promoting renewable energy integration and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Rising demand for efficient energy storage solutions to deal with fluctuations in renewable energy supply is a key growth opportunity. However, high infrastructure setup costs and technological challenges associated with hydrogen production, distribution, and use hamper the market growth. Lack of standards also poses difficulties. The market is expected to gain traction from the increasing deployment of fuel cells in transport sectors, industries adopting hydrogen for heat and power, and use of hydrogen for grid energy storage. The Asia Pacific region offers lucrative prospects due to a rapidly growing renewable energy sector and the presence of leading fuel cell manufacturers in countries such as Japan and South Korea.
