Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing use of natural gas in the automotive industry
Natural gas is among the cleanest burning transportation fuels available as an alternative to gasoline and diesel. It comprises less carbon in comparison with other fossil fuels, due to which it produces lesser CO2 emissions when burned. Over the years, an increase is witnessed in the natural gas production and exploration. The natural gas industry has been able to yield greater amounts of natural gas with the help of technological innovation, thereby keeping pace with the budding demand.
Restraints: Limited availability of hydrogen refueling infrastructure in developed economies
The demand for natural gas as a fuel for transportation is mainly hampered by the lack of refueling stations with sufficient national coverage. Refueling stations supply natural gas that has been compressed to the H2 powered vehicles. Unlike the gasoline and diesel stations, there is a lesser number of H2 refueling stations globally. Without adequate refueling infrastructure, the consumer demand for natural gas is likely to be affected.
Opportunities: Emergence of lightweight composite material-based Hydrogen cylinders
H2 cylinders are available in variety of types, sizes, and weights to suit various applications. The emergence of lightweight cylinders has given rise to a new phase in the H2 tanks industry. Composite cylinders, which include Type 3, and Type 4 cylinders are basically, the lightweight cylinders, with Type 4 being the lightest., A cylinder’s cost increases with a reduction in its weight. Over the years, Type 1 has been the most dominant type of cylinder, but in recent years, there has been a shift in the demand toward the composite cylinders. The Type 3 cylinders are metal-lined composite cylinders, whereas Type 4 cylinders are plastic-lined composite cylinders, due to which Type 4 is the costliest H2 cylinder. These composite cylinders are lighter than the steel cylinders, safe, reliable; and have increased life span, owing to their advantageous properties and increasing demand.
Challenges: Ban of ICE Engines
The strictness by the regulations regarding pollution due to burning of fuels in vehicles will force the humanity to stop using fossil fuels for transportations purposes. According to the current scenario laws regarding emissions of US are the strictest in the world. Many countries have announced a proper ban to ICE engines ( internal combustion engines) till 2040. This situation is forcing the automotive industry to switch to hybrid modes. Electrification will play a key role to reach those targets, starting with the wide-spread adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).
“Industrial was the largest application for hydrogen storage tank market in 2021, in terms of value”
The Industrial application segment accounted for the largest share of the global hydrogen storage tank market, in terms of value, in 2021. The demand for hydrogen storage tank in the industrial application is expected to increase mainly because of the rise in production of different chemicals and energy requirement by the industrial segment in APAC.
“Asia Pacific was the largest market for hydrogen storage tank in 2021, in terms of value.”
Asia Pacific is the largest hydrogen storage tank market and is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of volume, between 2022 and 2030. Economic growth in the region has led to high internal trade and domestic transportation of commodities and supplies. China and Japan are some of the largest automobile producers globally. These countries are competing to manufacture technologically advanced vehicles and are investing heavily in their research and development to develop new ways to use H2 in the form of energy.
