Market Definition
Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, widely valued for its exceptional energy-carrying capacity. It can be produced either as a primary product or as a by-product from diverse energy sources, including renewables (wind and solar), fossil fuels (coal and natural gas), and nuclear power. Due to its high energy content per unit mass, hydrogen serves as a highly versatile energy carrier. It is critical in various industrial processes, chemical manufacturing, and emerging clean energy applications. The hydrogen generation market is defined as the sum of the revenue generated by companies producing hydrogen through various technologies, such as electrolysis, steam methane reforming (SMR), auto thermal reforming (ATR), partial oxidation (POX), and coal gasification.
