Abstract
Global demand to grow 3.5% annually through 2013
Global demand for hydrogen is forecast to expand 3.5 percent per annum through
2013 to 478 billion cubic meters. In value terms, this represents $29.3
billion in captive consumption and $20.8 billion in merchant gas. Growth in
hydrogen demand will benefit from strong activity in the petroleum sector,
where increasing demand for low sulfur fuels in response to stricter
environmental regulations will increase the amount of hydrogen required to
produce them. Favorable demand fundamentals for hydrogen also exist in
chemical manufacturing applications, and production of semiconductors, float
glass, metal components and food processing.
Merchant market poised for growth; captive consumption to remain dominant
Petroleum refineries around the world are consuming greater quantities of
hydrogen and this represents the most significant opportunity to merchant
suppliers of hydrogen. Of the 25.5 billion cubic meters of overall demand
growth in hydrogen by 2013, almost all will be met by merchant suppliers.
Nonetheless, captive and on-purpose hydrogen generated by oil refineries will
still account for 70 percent of global hydrogen consumption in 2013.
Non-refinery applications for hydrogen combined for eleven percent of total
consumption in 2008. Of this, chemical manufacturing exclusive of ammonia and
methanol production) accounted for six percent of consumption; the remaining
five percent was accounted for by other manufacturing processes and
non-manufacturing applications.
Asia/Pacific to be fastest growing regional market
In 2008, North America led the world in hydrogen consumption by volume (30.5%)
followed by Asia/Pacific (30%); Western Europe (18%); and other regions
(21.5%). However, hydrogen demand growth in the emerging economies of China,
India, and other Asian countries (excluding Japan) will make the Asia/ Pacific
region the global leader in hydrogen consumption before 2013. Other regions
such as Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa/Mideast will also experience
faster growth in hydrogen demand than the more mature economies of North
America and Western Europe.
Hydrogen economy gains a foothold
The phrase "hydrogen economy" refers to programs or initiatives aimed at using
hydrogen as an energy carrier to replace hydrocarbon fuels and reduce
emissions produced by their consumption. Technologies such as fuel cells
developed for cars, buses, power generation and other applications, along with
the infrastructural implications of their broad and increasing use, are being
demonstrated in many countries around the world. Although the market impact of
global, massive deployment of the hydrogen economy on hydrogen demand is
beyond the time horizon of this study, activities related to the hydrogen
economy is increasing in a number of countries around the world.
Study coverage
These and other findings are contained in World Hydrogen, a new Freedonia
industry study presents historical demand data (1998, 2003 and 2008) plus
forecasts for 2013 and 2018 by region and major countries, application, source
and consuming sector. The study also reviews market environment factors,
assesses industry structure, evaluates company market shares and profiles
industry competitors, including Air Liquide, Air Products and Chemicals, and
The Linde Group.
