What are the Current Market Drivers?

Industrial Decarbonization and the Push for Green Steel & Chemicals

The industrial sector, particularly steel, ammonia, and refining, is under immense pressure to reduce carbon emissions, and green hydrogen is emerging as a viable solution. The steel industry alone contributes around 7-9% of global CO₂ emissions, and initiatives like the Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology (HYBRIT) project in Sweden aim to replace coal-based blast furnaces with hydrogen-based direct reduction technology. Companies such as Thyssenkrupp, ArcelorMittal, and Tata Steel are investing in pilot projects to transition towards hydrogen-based steel production. Similarly, the ammonia industry, responsible for around 2% of global CO₂ emissions, is looking at green hydrogen as a sustainable feedstock for fertilizer production and shipping fuel alternatives like green ammonia.

Expanding Hydrogen Infrastructure and Transportation Networks

The development of hydrogen transport, storage, and refueling infrastructure is critical for enabling large-scale green hydrogen adoption. Countries are investing heavily in hydrogen pipelines, liquid hydrogen carriers, and ammonia transport solutions to facilitate global hydrogen trade. The H2Med pipeline, set to connect Spain, France, Germany, and Portugal, will be the first dedicated hydrogen corridor in the EU, enhancing regional supply chains. Additionally, projects like NEOM’s $8.4 billion green hydrogen plant in Saudi Arabia aim to export hydrogen in the form of ammonia to global markets, particularly Japan and South Korea, where domestic production potential is limited. Investment in hydrogen refueling stations is also growing, with Germany, China, and Japan leading in the number of hydrogen refueling stations for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

Where are the Market Opportunities?

Green Hydrogen as an Export Commodity

Countries with abundant renewable energy resources—such as Australia, Chile, Saudi Arabia, and Namibia—are positioning themselves as major green hydrogen exporters. Large-scale projects, including NEOM’s $8.4 billion hydrogen plant in Saudi Arabia, aim to supply hydrogen and ammonia to energy-hungry markets like Europe, Japan, and South Korea. Investments in dedicated hydrogen shipping infrastructure, ammonia transport, and liquefaction technologies will enable global hydrogen trade, creating economic opportunities for resource-rich nations.

Hydrogen in Heavy Transport and Aviation

Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), hydrogen trains, ships, and even aircraft are emerging as viable solutions to decarbonize hard-to-electrify transport sectors. Companies like Hyundai, Toyota, and Daimler are investing in hydrogen trucks, while Airbus is developing zero-emission hydrogen aircraft for commercial use by 2035. Additionally, green ammonia is gaining traction as a low-carbon maritime fuel, with major shipping companies like Maersk and NYK Line exploring ammonia-powered vessels. The development of hydrogen refuelling networks presents a massive infrastructure investment opportunity.
