Hydrogen Generation Technologies: Current State and Future Developments
Hydrogen use in applications such as fuel cells, chemical processing, refining, petroleum recovery, and others is anticipated to grow considerably throughout the forecast period. This is due to enforcement stringent environmental regulations. Moreover, chemical processing as well as refining industries are the major consumers of hydrogen. Also, Oil & gas refineries demand hydrogen to lower the sulfur content of diesel for reducing sulfur content.
Furthermore, chemical processing
industry uses hydrogen to process methanol, ammonia, as well as other chemicals
in a petrochemical complex. Also, fuel cells are evolving technologies that are
currently used as a source of heat and electricity in buildings as well as
commercial sector. The demand for hydrogen by these industries are bolstering
the growth of the market.
Also, the demand for cleaner fuels and decreasing
quality of crude oil are the factors driving the market for hydrogen
generation. However, inadequate distribution & transport infrastructure and
being hydrogen expensive than other fossil fuels are factors restraining the
market growth.
