Hydrogen Energy Storage Market Outlook 2031:
The global hydrogen energy storage market size was valued at USD 15.36 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 22.83 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The market growth is attributed to the rising need for massive electric energy, the rapid growth of efficient hydrogen energy storage, and the increasing adoption of hydrogen energy technology in vehicles.
Hydrogen energy storage ensures the safety and efficient reservation of hydrogen energy that is generally stored in a range of medium to highly-concentration containers. Hydrogen energy can be available in liquid, gas, and solid forms, which are widely used in various applications across several industries such as stationary power generation.
The storage of gas-based hydrogen primarily requires high-compressed or high-pressure tanks while the liquid form can be stored only under cryogenic temperature. One of the key aspects of the market expansion is the rising replacement of fossil fuel with renewable energy in industrial units for grid energy service and the rapidly increasing use of fuel cell technology for various commercial applications.
For instance, fuel-cell electric vehicles are powered by hydrogen using fuel-cell technology rather than using electricity from batteries. Moreover, the rapid introduction of several government subsidies and tax incentive schemes is projected to push market expansion further. For instance, an apex body of the US energy storage trade, Energy Storage Association introduced a series of tax incentives for renewable energy storage including hydrogen energy in June 2019.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic had adversely impacted the market due to the sharp decline in power consumption across industries worldwide, as a result of the prolonged shutdown of manufacturing units and travel restrictions.
The emergency lockdowns of governments across the globe, in a view to curb the virus spread, had forced to reschedule shipments of various components used in hydrogen energy storage. However, considering the rapid shift toward the use of environmentally friendly energy sources in industries, the market has massive potential to grow at a significant pace in the coming years.
Hydrogen Energy Storage Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising need for alternative energy sources to replace fossil fuel-based energy and increasing awareness regarding the benefit of using renewable power are key factors driving the market.
- Favorable government policies encouraging the use of hydrogen power storage to meet the rising demand for fuel-cell electric vehicles present another key driver of the market.
- Wide use of hydrogen energy storage in various applications including on-site stationary power generation and refueling stations is expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
- Lack of commercialization of hydrogen energy storage in developing countries acts as a major restraint that can hamper the market in the coming years.
- Technology advancements that result in the development of high volumetric storage density systems, hydride storage systems, and large capacity liquid hydrogen carriers are offering immense opportunities for market growth.
