Global Hydrogen Energy Storage Market by Physical State (Solid, Liquid, Gas), by Technology (Compression, Liquefaction, Material Based) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global hydrogen storage market was worth USD 12.5 billion in 2019. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 5.1%) between 2020 and 2027. The market is expected to grow due to the growing demand for hydrogen production from electrolysis with surplus renewable power in the next few years. Market growth is expected to be driven by increasing hydrogen applications in many sectors. Hydrogen generated by electrolysis can be used to power plants, reduce carbon intensity in gas pipelines, and in stationary fuel cells . It can also be stored as a cryogenic liquid or compressed gas, or loosely bonded hydroide chemical-compounds.

The U.S. market is expected to grow at a rapid pace due to ongoing research, development, and construction of large-scale storage projects. Magnum Developer and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, for example, announced in 2019 that they plan to build a 1GW energy storage facility. This will provide power from renewable hydrogen, large-scale flow batteries, solid oxygen fuel cells, and compressed helium energy storage.

The market for hydrogen storage will be boosted by the expected decrease in the cost of solar and wind power. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) states that renewable hydrogen must be produced at less than USD 2.5 per kilogram in order to compete with fossil fuel-produced hydrogen. Price depends on many factors, including production location, market segment and renewable energy power tariffs. Future electrolyzer investments will also impact the price. Lower hydrogen production costs will result in higher energy storage system deployment.

The market players in hydrogen energy storage are highly integrated. Market players are integrating their facilities with other end-use sectors to meet the hydrogen demand stored in a variety of end-use applications, including fuel cell vehicles, grid service, and telecommunications.

Technology Insights

Due to the large number of applications for compressed hydrogen in various sectors, the compression storage technology segment held a dominant share of 40.0% in 2019. These applications include stationary power generation on site, hydrogen refueling stations and vehicles used for road transport.

In 2019, the liquefaction segment was worth USD 3.8 billion. One major advantage of hydrogen storage in liquid form is its energy density. This is a significant improvement over compression storage technology. Liquid tanks are more energy dense than compression storage technology, allowing for greater hydrogen storage in a smaller volume. The storage technology's safety and cost efficiency are affected by boil-off losses from the high energy required to liquefy hydrogen.

The CAGR for material-based storage technology is 5.1% during the forecast period. Technology that includes hydride storage systems and liquid hydrogen carriers has a higher volumetric storage density than other storage technologies. Palladium absorbs hydrogen gas at a volume of approximately 1000 times its own.

Application Insights

The 40.5% market share held by the industrial segment was the largest in 2019, with 40.5%. This segment is expected to hold a significant share of the hydrogen storage market by 2027. Hydrogen is used in many industrial segments, including petroleum refining and food processing. For reducing the sulfur content of fuels, petroleum refiners need large quantities of hydrogen. Market growth is expected to be boosted by the increasing number of industrial applications.

Over the forecast period, residential sales are expected to rise at 6.1% CAGR. This growth can be attributed primarily to the increasing number of residential applications, such as powering direct flame combustion boilers, gas powered heat pumps, and fuel cell micro Combined Heat and Power.

Physical State Insights

In 2019, the solid segment accounted for 50.0% of the market. CAGRs of 8.7% are expected to be experienced by the gas segment during the forecast period. Compressed gas technology's simplicity and cost-effectiveness are responsible for the significant growth in this segment. The most common physical form in which hydrogen can be found is gas. The segment's growth will be further accelerated by the commercialization of power to gas technology.

In 2019, the liquid segment was worth USD 4.7 billion. This segment was valued at USD 4.7 billion in 2019. It is expected to continue growing due to demand for liquid hydrogen in high-purity applications such as the chip sector. Although liquid hydrogen is more energy dense than the gaseous version, it comes at an additional cost. Segment growth will be impeded by heavy insulation in the liquid tanks and required Liquifaction at -253 Celsius.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was responsible for 33.0% of the total revenue in 2019. The rapid production of hydrogen has been made possible by the falling costs of electrolyzers and renewable electricity. The increasing hydrogen production has resulted in a growing demand for hydrogen storages in the commercial, industrial, residential and institutional sectors.

North American market is expected to grow significantly due to strict regulations on emission control, greener fuels and increased fuel cell applications. Due to the growing demand for hydrogen in chemical industries and oil refineries, the U.S. holds the largest market share.

The market is growing across Europe thanks to the construction of large-scale storage facilities for hydrogen energy. Orsted, a Danish company, plans to make renewable hydrogen energy from the North Sea wind energy. It will then electrolyse it and sell it to large commercial customers.
