Market Overview:

The United States is one of the world's early adopters of clean energy solutions for industries such as power production, manufacturing, and transportation, making it one of the early adopters in the world. In December 2006, the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) of the United States of America unveiled their Hydrogen Posture Plan. The purpose of this strategy was to strengthen research and development efforts and validate technologies that may be used in establishing an infrastructure for hydrogen. In addition, this plan included deliverables that the federal government had established to assist the development of hydrogen infrastructure throughout the country. The strategy was established in compliance with the National Hydrogen Energy Vision and Roadmap. One of the primary goals anticipated by the government agency is the development and installation of hydrogen stations around the country that are both cost-effective and energy-saving. It is anticipated that the demand for the hydrogen-generating market in the United States will be driven upward by all of these causes.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the blue hydrogen segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 41% and market revenue of 53.12 billion.

Based on the source, the hydrogen generation market is categorized into Blue hydrogen, Green hydrogen, and Grey Hydrogen. In 2021, the blue hydrogen segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 41% and market revenue of 53.12 billion. It is anticipated that the increased usage of hydrogen in fuel cell-powered cars will be the primary factor driving the blue hydrogen industry. Fuel cells are a means of transportation that are better for the environment and have the potential to replace fossil fuels. In addition, governments in every region of the world have come out in favor of using fuel-cell cars to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The infrastructure development required to support fuel-cell cars is receiving more funding, subsidies, and tax benefits. Because of this, it is anticipated that there will be a rise in demand for blue hydrogen during the forecast period due to the rising usage of hydrogen in the automotive industry.

• In 2021, the steam methane reforming ( SMR) segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 45% and market revenue of 58.31 billion.

Based on technology, the hydrogen generation market is categorized into Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), Coal Gasification, and Others. In 2021, steam methane reforming (SMER) dominated the market with the largest market share of 45% and market revenue of 58.31 billion. The steam methane reforming process is an established and highly developed method for the creation of hydrogen. This is because the global demand for hydrogen generation is expanding at an alarming rate. High conversion efficiency is one of the operational benefits connected with the steam methane reforming process, which is another reason contributing to the market's expansion. During the forecast period, it is anticipated that the Steam Methane Reforming sector will maintain its position as the leader.

• In 2021, the ammonia production segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 31% and a market revenue of 40.16 billion.

Based on application, the hydrogen generation market is categorized into Oil Refining, Chemical Processing, Iron & Steel Production, and Ammonia Production. In 2021, ammonia production dominated the market with the largest market share of 31% and market revenue of 40.16 billion. The ammonia production sector will continue to hold the top spot throughout the forecast period. Because of ammonia's ability to serve as a carbon-free fuel, hydrogen transporter, and energy storage medium, technologies that generate hydrogen from renewable sources might be implemented on a far larger scale. Ammonia facilities often have on-site hydrogen production, which uses a feedstock derived from fossil fuels. Natural gas is the feedstock that is used most frequently, and it is used to feed a steam methane reforming (SMR) unit. The production of ammonia from coal can also be accomplished by a method known as partial oxidation (POX).
